According to Markus Feehily, one of the writers of this song, they were originally asked to write a song for the winners of The X Factor, but when they started the writing, they decided to just write a good song and see how it goes.
This song was inspired by the passing of Nicky Byrne’s dad and Kia...
All things come to those who wait
Sometimes they just come too late
And if we never speak again
I don't wanna make that mistake
We never seem to find
The place or time
To say what's on our minds, so
Tell me everything now
Don't leave anything out
I'll tell you all my fears, my mistakes
Before it's too late
I don't wanna wake up one day
Wondering if I shied away
From something that once seemed so hard
One thing that's so simple to say
Why do you always hide
Your tears when you cry?
Isn't it time you try to
Tell me everything now
Don't leave anything out
I'll tell you all my fears, my mistakes
Before it's too late
Before it's too late
Before it's too late
Tell me everything now
Don't leave anything out
I'll tell you all my fears
My mistakes, before it's too late
Before it's too late
No, no, no, no
Before it's too late
