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 that's nothing new) 

 I loved you with a fire red, 
 Now it's turning blue 
 And you say 
 Sorry like an angel, 
 Heavens not the thing for you, 
 But I'm afraid 

 That it's too late to apologize, 
 It's too late 
 I said it's too late to apologize, 
 It's too late 

 That it's too late to apologize, 
 It's too late 
 I said it's too late to apologize, 
 It's too late 

 I said it's too late to apologize, yeah yeah 
 I said it's too late to apologize, a yeah 

 I'm holding on your rope 
 Got me ten feet off the ground…
