I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground

And I'm hearing what you say, but I just can't make a sound

You tell me that you need me then you go and cut me down, but wait

You tell me that you're sorry, didn't think I'd turn around, and say (that)

"It's too late to apologize (it's too late)."

I said, "It's too late to apologize (it's too late)."

I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you

And I need you like a heart needs a beat, but it's nothin' new (yeah)

I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue, and you say,

"Sorry," like the angel heaven let me think was you, but I'm afraid...

"It's too late to apologize (it's too late)."

I said, "It's too late to apologize (it's too late)."

"It's too late to apologize," yeah

I said, "It's too late to apologize," yeah

I'm holdin' on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
