At the end of the day all we have is memories

It's just a little to late

(So let me on down
'Cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know)

Some people don't know what they have until it's gone. And this song is about that it's just a little to late.
But what about the ones who do know? The ones who never took a damn thing for granted? Who tried their hardest to hold on, yet could only look on helplessly while they lost the thing they loved the most. Isn't it so much worse for them?
