[Verse 1]
My eyes as I looked at you
Thoughts you passed without knowing
Always a moment too late
When you looked at me
My heart was already elsewhere, not you
[Chorus]
It's not that it can't work
It's just too late now
It's not that I dislike you
I also liked you once
Now someone that isn't you
Is beside me
[Verse 2]
Our love missed each other
I liked you a lot
I wanted you to come closer to me
Unaware, you always stood there
Tired, I turn away
[Chorus]
It's not that it can't work
It's just too late now
It's not that I dislike you
I also liked you once
Now someone that isn't you
Is beside me
Why now?
[Bridge]
We live beneath the same sky
But it seems we live in different times
Too early or too late
I could never even hold your hand
[Chorus]
It's not that it can't work
It's just too late now
It's not that I dislike you
I also liked you once
Now someone that isn't you
Is beside me
What am I supposed to do now?
Would something be different
If I had braved it first?
Would I have loved you
If I was alone now?
If I could turn back time
I'd embrace you first
[Outro]
It can't work
We know
