There she was just seventeen |
|
Cryin' on the mornin' after |
|
He told her everything she wanted to hear |
|
All those drunken reasons that she had |
|
For givin' in don't matter |
|
And they don't stop the tears, no |
|
What do you do when it's too late? |
|
What do you say when you |
|
Can't change the truth of what you've done |
|
And it's coming at you fast? |
|
When you can't hide the hurt inside |
|
How do you pray to make it right |
|
When you wanna change the past |
|
And you can't take it back? |
|
You can't take it back |
|
Scared to death, she tells her friend |
|
To meet her at the drugstore counter |
|
And finds out what she didn't wanna hear |
|
Daddy will die, her mamma will cry |
|
The kids at school will talk about her |
|
There ain't no easy way outta here, oh |
|
What do you do when it's too late? |
|
What do you say when you |
|
Can't change the truth of what you've done |
|
And it's coming at you fast? |
|
When you can't hide the hurt inside |
|
How do you pray to make it right |
|
When you wanna change the past |
|
And you can't take it back? |
|
You can't take it back |
|
All the choices that she's made |
|
That baby staring back at her |
|
Is one she wouldn't change |
|
What do you do when it's too late? |
|
What do you say when you |
|
Can't change the truth of what you've done |
|
And it's coming at you fast? |
|
When you can't hide the hurt inside |
|
How do you pray to make it right |
|
When you wanna change the past |
|
And you can't take it back? |
|
You can't take it back |
|
What do you do when it's too late? |
|
What do you say when you |
|
Can't change the truth of what you've done |
|
And it's coming at you fast? |
|
When you can't hide the hurt inside |
|
How do you pray to make it right |
|
When you wanna change the past |
|
And you can't take it back? |
|
You can't take it back |
|
Sometimes it ain't so bad |
