I'm late to be the perfect man
You wanted me to be;
I'm late to give you the perfect love
I've never tried to give;
I'm late to see the perfect things
I've never really seen.
I'm late.
I'm late to live.

You know,
You're all I'm living for;
I know
That I will die alone.
I love
Like I've never loved before,
And that's why I should burn.

Burn me!
Burn me, I don't care,
You'll see
The ashes of despair;
Burn me,
I cannot take a step
Out,
Out of my hell.

I'm late to live the perfect life
That I've seen on TV;
I'm late to feel the perfect feelings
That could be so real;
I'm late to cry the perfect tears
I've never tried to cry.
I'm late.
I'm late to die.

I fall
In love with your pretty smile;
I know
That I will cry alone.
I love
The flare in your shining eyes,
And that's why I should burn.
