Never Too Late
Three Days Grace · 2006
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- It's never too late
- Even if I say it'll be alright
- Still, I hear you say you want to end your life
- Now and again, we try to just stay alive
Sing it again — final chorus
- It's never too late
- The world we knew won't come back
- The time we've lost can't get back
- The life we had won't be ours again
