TOO CLOSE TO THE END
(Wayne Kemp)


Wayne Kemp - 1970





It's too close to the end, you can't forgive me

You never asked for more than I could give you
All you wanted was just a little of what you had so much to give
But now you're giving up and I can't really blame you
All you wanted was a better way to live

Now it's too close to the end to say I'm sorry
Anything I have to say now you won't believe
I can't ask you to stay 'cause I've cheated all the way
It's too close to the end, you can't forgive me

(Instrumental Break)

Like a fool I couldn't see when you saw through me
You knew what I was doing all along
But the more I done made you try that much harder
And the more you tried, the more that I done wrong

Now it's too close to the end to say I'm sorry
Anything I have to say now you won't believe
I can't ask you to stay 'cause I've cheated all the way
It's too close to the end, you can't forgive me
