Sincerely (Too Late To Turn Back Now)

Steve Earle


I could tell you I came by to say hello 
But I knew good and well that you weren't home 
Now these lines I write 
Will reach you by midnight 
Tell you that it's over, anyhow 
Sincerely, too late turn back now 

Blue words on white paper find a way 
To say what I'm not strong enough to say 
If I stay to say goodbye 
Someone's bound to cry 
And I don't think that I can stand to hear that sound 
Sincerely, too late turn back now 

I don't need to sign my name 
Because you know me by now 
And I won't have to take the blame 
When tears come falling down 
I just ain't got the heart to hang around 
Sincerely, too late to turn back now 
P.S. I guess I let you down
