Sorry's Too Late - Lyrics - Jael

Yael or Jael is a woman mentioned in the Book of Judges in the Bible, as the heroine who killed Sisera to deliver Israel from the troops of king Jabin. She was the wife of Heber the Kenite.

Verse 1 Is there any way to apologise For my selfishness and my selfish pride Is my penance to live with the words that haunt That you said on the day you died Chorus Now I'm stuck in a place Where wishes don't work and your prayers they don't mean a thing And my chances are gone and so are you And my Jesus took another whip He didn't have to take He didn't have to take Verse 2 What do I tell the Son of man That His child chose hell in glance Or that I would take the opportunity One more chance On the day you died Bridge Never again will I sit back, retract Watch the sky roll back the paint of the stars crack Find myself dividing up the time I spent with you Prioritizing the small talk, avoiding the truth I check your face as I speed away that day Less one chance to bare my stance on this living death I can't go back, I can't act on what my memory brings Looking through a muted view all I see is you On the day you died
