I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
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 nothing new - yeah 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

Bridge (guitar/piano)

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 holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground.
