Tiger Kill — Too Late To Be Good

Yeah
Maybe we were never meant to play it safe
Good kids.
Nah, too late for that
It's too late to be good.
Too bad to play it safe.
We got scars on our hearts, but we still found a way.
Too late to be perfect.
Too good to run and hide.
If the hole will cause us trouble, let them talk all night.
We were never made for rules
Never made to live misunderstood
You know me, I know you.
It's too late to be good
Yeah.
Back row here with the pen in my hand.
Teacher said slow down.
I had bigger plans.
Couple bad grades.
Couple nights too late.
Everybody had an opinion on the road.
I take like a door slam.
Bell ring.
Same heart.
Big dreams written on the bathroom wall.
Everybody acting like they know what's next.
While
I'm writing 16 bars in the group chat text.
I messed up.
Yeah, more than once.
Said dumb things just to look too tough.
Had a few fake friends disappear real fast.
Funny how the real ones never asked about the past.
Then you showed up with the same tired eyes
Same kind of smile hiding 25 lies
You said
I'm not perfect.
I said neither am 's
The first honest thing
I heard all night
We don't need halos.
We don't need gold
We just need somebody who already knows
I know where you been.
You know what
I hide.
Maybe two wrong turns could still end up right.
Too late to be good.
Too wild to play safe.
We got scars on our hearts, but we still found the way.
Too late to be perfect for real to run and hide.
If the causes trouble, let them talk all night.
We were never made for rules
Never make a living misunderstood
You know me.
I know you
It's too late to be good
Too late.
Yeah.
We ain't going back now.
Friday night sneakers on the pavement.
No.
No big money, but we felt famous.
Four friends packed in an old back seat.
Race too loud and windows beat.
We had no map, no fiveyear plan, just a cheap phone light.
In a dream in our hands.
Some went left, some disappeared, some stayed close.
Through the hardest years, I learned real quick that a smile can lie
And the loudest forever can still say goodbye.
So
I stopped chasing people who wanted me change.
Started building my name out of pressure and pain.
You did the same.
That's why we connect.
No fake little stories.
No need to impress.
You know every flaw that
I wish
I could lose.
Still look at me like
I'm somebody you choose
You think you're the only one who had to grow fast.
I got my own mistakes.
I got my own past.
They told me be quiet, be nice, fit in.
But
I got tired of losing just so they could win.
I skipped a few rules.
I trusted wrong names.
I cried in the bathroom and walked out the same.
So don't try to save me.
I don't need a hero.
I just need somebody who knows what it feels like a zero.
You got your damage.
I got mine, too.
Maybe that's the reason
I can finally see you
Never had them
We don't need
We got something better.
We just need somebody
Who already know.
Maybe two wrong times can still end up right
Too late to be good, too.
Play it safe
We got scars on our hearts, but we still found a way.
Too late to be perfect.
Too good to run and hide.
If the homework calls the trouble, let them talk all night.
We were never made for rules
Never made misunderstood.
You know me.
I know you.
It's too late to be good.
Too late to be good.
Too late.
Too late to be good.
Too late to be good
Too late to be good.
Too late to be good.
Too late
It's too late to be good
