Apologize

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 (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 (too late) I said, "It's too late to apologize," yeah (too late) I'm holdin' on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground

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)."

This verse tells how deeply a man was hurt because of the girl he had loved before. The verse tells that the girl needs the guy but in the end the girl hurt the guy and then tells sorry for what she have done. But the guy was really hurt that she can’t give forgiveness and tells the girl that her apology was too late because he was already hurt.

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...

In this verse the guy wanted to forgive the girl but fear gives him doubts that the girl might hurt him again in the end.
