[Verse 1: Ryan Tedder, Timbaland] 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 (Ayy, ayy, ayy) 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
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder, Timbaland] It's too late to apologize It's too late (Ayy, ayy, ayy) I said it's too late to apologize It's too late (Ayy, ayy, ayy) Woah, oh-oh (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
[Verse 2: Ryan Tedder] I'd take another chance Take a fall, take a shot for you, oh-woah 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
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder, Timbaland] It's too late to apologize It's too late (Ayy, ayy, ayy) I said it's too late to apologize It's too late (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder, Timbaland] It's too late to apologize It's too late (Ayy, ayy, ayy) I said it's too late to apologize It's too late (Ayy, ayy, ayy) It's too late to apologize, yeah (Too late) (Ayy, ayy, ayy) I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
[Outro: Ryan Tedder] I'm holding on your rope Got me ten feet off the ground
