Fra Lippo Lippi – Later lyrics
How can you come with me
When you knew all along that you had to go

How could you watch me sleep close to you
Pretending not to know
How could you memorize my name
And forget who I am
How
could you think you're still the same
Believing I can
REFRAIN:
It's too late to start pretending
It's too late for a new beginning
Later than the sunset
Later than the rain
Later than never
To love you again
How could you ask for more
Than an innocent smile
Trust in me to stay

How could you close the door
And leave me here
Supposing I'm okay
How
could you break down my disguise
And uncover my fears
How could you look into my eyes
Ignoring my tears
Repeat REFRAIN
Yeah, yeah
Oh
It's too late
Lawrence

    For me, the song is all about loving an insensitive person. Parang kayo, na parang hindi. He told you that he loves you pero di niya mapanindigan. Kahit anong gawin mo di ka makapasok sa mundo niya dahil masyado siyang maraming priorities and you are last on his list. And everytime na kasama mo siya mas nararamdaman mo yung pain at insecurities kaya gusto mo nalang siya i-let go at palayain ang isa't-isa mula sa isang relationship na wala rin namang patutunguhan,.

    All we could say is "it's too late" for everything, but I still believe that we can work out and give each other a chance to love each other again. In the first place, love is still there, and it isn't hard to keep it alive. One day, at the right time, we can give ourselves a chance to be happy, in each others' arms.

    Every time I hear this song, all I want to say is:

    "It's too late to be with him again
    It's too late for the second chance
    And it's too late for both of us."

    I try to pretend there's no pain I feel, controlling my tears fell down. But still I feel pain until now. And it's hurt deep inside - because still love "M.J."

    For me, it's all about everything was too late. Because before when someone waits for his love he didn't give it, he just ignore everything and when the time goes by, when she had move on, the guy was back but she didn't want it anymore because she will never love him again as it says, because it was too late. . Personal comment. I love this song it reminds me
    when my boyfriend just ignore me, just left me and just hurt me but still I wait but in the end i' m the fool one. But now I realized that I don't need him so I will never love him again. ;) thumbs up for this great song.

    The meaning of the song, actually is, the guy had fallen out of love with his girl and that his girl want to make it work like it will be. Then his answer to the girl's act is the chorus. Ending with "later than I never to love you again".

    Now were facing difficulties and misunderstandings, and still you chose to end it like this, I know that it is all my fault. I never blame you for not choosing me over your anger in times like this, maybe I don't deserve you anymore. We change and what makes us beautiful is the change that is happening to us, it makes us stronger and teach us lessons for the future.
    Maybe someday our paths will crossed again, and when we get the chance to fulfill our promises and vows, all we can do is thank God, because he is so loving and forgiving, because he never let us face our problems alone, and thank him for giving you back to me.

    This song describe what I feel at the moment. You see, I met this girl and we totally have lots of similarities. I was attracted to her the second time I saw her, she was very friendly and approachable. We texted each other for quite some time but later on I found out that she already have a bf and a couple of days from now she'll be leaving to work abroad. It really feels bad when you wanted some more time to spend with someone you just met, to get to know them better, to be friends, and to share the similarities that you have but time doesn't permit. It's too late!

    Once in my life, I loved someone so much that I forgot to love myself. Until finally I realized that he is not worth it. I let go of him including our memories and promised to myself that I will never love someone else but myself. At this moment, he is trying to fix the relationship. But I just told him that its over and it can never be fixed. I'm happy without him.

    Funny how some people would always want to be first on their partner's priority list. This seems to be one-sided though. They should understand that they also have to learn to give up their own needs as well. If you really love someone, you really wouldn't care how much it hurts to be always on the giving end. After all, true love doesn't keep count of how much one has given to the other and neither does it keep track of how much the other owes in return.

    Everytime I hear this song, I'm really hurt. I always tend to cry. But to realize the lyriccs of the song makes me think to be strong always. That I must not be affected by him, for he's the reason for my hurt. And it's not my prerogative to follow a guy not worthy to be cried and taken care for, esp. When he does not return back what you have given.!

    The song is about a girl who came into his life; even though she knew that she doesn’t really love him and that she will leave him eventually. The man fell in love with her and truly loved her, trusted her, and showed her everything that he is. In the song, he is asking her how could she pretend that she loves him when the truth is, she’s not in love with him. The song is very emotional because it’s the man questioning the girl that he truly loved since he finally found out the truth, that after everything they’ve shared together, she is just pretending to love him.

    Well, I think this is when you love someone but you know you can't be happy with her and the only thing you can do is to move forward because if you don't, in the long run, you will just got hurt, devastated, and emotionally stressed. You gotta know how to be happy being by yourself just as with someone else. Never depend your happiness to other people. I still care and has a feeling for her but I know it is not worthy. I will move on will my life and never looked back until if fades to the point that I won't even recognized her face.

    Actually narinig ko lang din ulit sa jeep na sinasakyan ko kanina bago pumasok sa work. In short, broken hearted din ako and si ex bf kasama ko sa work trying to pretend na ok kme kahit alam nya na everytime na lalapitan nya ako ay nasasaktan ako, kase balewala lahat, nag break kame ng napaka babaw na dahilan ang gusto nya maging tropa na lang muna kme. At ayun nga ang nangyayari, in short mag barkada kame ngyon pero andun pa din yung feelings ko para sa kanya, kaya masakit yung mga ginagawa at kinikilos nya na parang balewala ako sa kanya, pero he try pa din namn na patawanin at pasayahin ako like before ng mga ginagawa namen nung kme pa kaya, alam ko sa sarili ko na mahal pa din nya ako at nararamdaman ko pa din yun. At inamin naman nya sa akin na may feelings pa din sya sa akin. Kaso lang ayoko na maniwala sa kanya dahil na saktan na ako at hanggang ngayon patuloy pa din ako nasasaktan.

    Everytime I hear this song I feel all the pain from my ex boyfriend. And I just wanted to cry for what happened to our relationship. But then siguro nga di tlaga kami para sa isat isa, everytime na magtry ako magmahal sa iba parang natatakot nakong masaktan at umiyak. Kaya siguro naglalagay ako ng wall or harang. Para di mainlove. Kaso nakakamiss lang kasi mainlove when you know thar someone loves you, taking care of you, supporting you and never leaves you alone. I know its hard to find someone that will loves you and never lasts.

    I'm not deserving for him because I pretend that I'm his dream girl, all that acts that I showed to him was just only fake. But that's the biggest mistake I'd make in my whole life. I learn to love him. But his already gone. He find his dream girl already. I miss him so much. Hindi co na alam kung paano magmahal sa iba. Siya lang ang gusto kong mahalin. His the one I want to be with for the rest of my life.

    "later" is actually a hopeful song for me. It reminds me that after the trials, hardships and sorrow that you've felt from your previous relationship, tere's still life after them. There's still a time that you will never aver be affected. And you're completely over them. :)
    Later than I never, to love you again.
    (and who knows, by that time, since you're already better and stronger person, s/he can now see/recognize your worth. And then you're the one that pays no attention anymore. *Quits*/even* lol).

    It seems, the story of the song happened just before the Person died. Everything is a farewell moment, cherishing every single moment till the very last, without telling the other person about it.
    The first part seems theres a desease or illness, and most probably its something to do with brain.
    The second part seems the journey of falling in love, the door has been closed, not available to someone else. The later portion is after the Person knew everything, the sick one is just trying to say, its okay.
    Then everything is being said, while dying in bed.

    Naalala ko si Gabby sa song na to. Actually, favorite song nya ang later and kinantahan ko sya nun dati through call. Almost a year kaming magkatext at magkatawagan lang kami dati pero nagkikita naman minsan. Nagkataon na magkasabay kaming bumyahe nun then bigla syang nagiloveyou sakin. I know its a joke. But I was surprised nung liligawan daw nya ako? Sabi ko, Joke na naman. Sabi nya, totoo. Naniwala ako kahit papano kasi kitang kita ang sincerity sa kanya. Pero ayoko subukan. Natatakot ako. May feelings din naman ako for him but hanggang crush lang siguro. So. Nag-pretend ako na lesbian ako at mayrong gf para lumayo loob nya sakin. At yun nga, pinagsisihan ko kasi nadevelop sya sa iba. Now, its too late na nga to stop pretending kasi kahit sabihin ko yung lahat sa ka nya its too late na. He has a girlfriend already. Really hurts.

    This song tries to portray a lover who was being left behind by his partner. A partner who will leave his life forever. On his last hours, he tries his best to be just find and show the person he loves that everything's fine, but in the end, the lover had nothing to do but to cry for the lost of his one true love. It might have been too painful, but one must move on no matter how had it may seemed.
