[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1: Ryan Tedder]
I'm--
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, no oh
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]
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, yeah

[Verse 2: Ryan Tedder and crowd]
I'd take another chance
Take a fall, take a shot for you, ohh
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But that's nothing new, yeah oh
I loved you with a fire red
Now it's turning blue, and you say-ay
Sorry like an angel
Heaven let me think was you, but I'm afraid
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late, ohhh yeah

Ohh, I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, too late
Too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah, oh

[Bridge: Ryan Tedder]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You could stay with me
Cause you're all I need
Oh, this ain't love, it's clear to see
Won't you stay with me
Oh won't you stay with me
Cause you're all I need
Oh, this ain't love, it's plain to see
But won't you stay with me
Said won't you stay with me
Oh, won't you stay with me

[Outro: Ryan Tedder]
Cause I've been holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off
Ten feet off the ground
