Apologize         One Republic

I'm holding on a rope
Got me 10 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
I need you like a heart needs a beat

And you say
Sorry lord, the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid (*)
