was it the trick of the light
or a shot in the dark
was it hell or high water
that broke our hearts
was it something i said
or just a cruel twist of fate
was it hell or high water
is it too late
oh is it too late

well all my life i’ve been
searching for someone
to show me how it
feels to be loved

and how to love somebody back
and after stumbling through the years i
thought i found you just to
see you fading out into the night

was it the trick of the light
or a shot in the dark
was it hell or high water
that broke our hearts
was it something you said
or just a cruel twist of fate
was it hell or high water
and is it too late

see all my life i’ve been
silently reaching for a hand to hold
to warm the cold
a spark of light
to guide me through alright
and after stumbling through the years i
thought i found you just to
see you fading out into the night

was it the trick of the light
or a shot in the dark
was it hell or high water
that broke our hearts
was it something we did
or just a cruel twist of fate
was it hell or high water
and is it too late

was it a knife in my back
or a fork in the road
was it hell or high water
that left us alone
is it really game over
is it really checkmate
was it hell or high water
is it too late
oh is it too late

was it a trick of the light
or a shot in the dark
was it hell or high water
that broke our hearts
