This emotionally charged ballad explores the pain of a one-sided relationship and the agonizing decision to finally let go. The lyrics depict a protagonist who is constantly being let down by their partner, yet continually gives them chances to make amends. Despite these repeated disappointments, they find it hard to break free, symbolized by 'holding on your rope.' However, the recurring refrain 'it's too late to apologize' signifies the protagonist's realization that some damages cannot be undone by mere apologies. The song serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of self-respect in relationships and the courage it takes to walk away from toxic love. #UnrequitedLove #ToxicRelationships #SelfRespect #MovingOn
Apologize
Lyrics
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 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, whoa
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
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
