"Too Late To Love You" features lyrics by Jake Elliott. The original release of ''Act III'' included the in-game vocal take and a short ambient section after the first chorus (the same found in-game when taking time to decide on a lyrical option), and is 6:14 in length. The newer master by Theo Karon features a different vocal take and is the same version found on Junebug's album ''[[Music#Too Late to Love You|Too Late to Love You]]'', with a length of 5:57. This release does not credit the song to Junebug, unlike the ''Original Soundtrack''.
