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...
