Apologize
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 your 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 the fire red
Now it's turning blue, when you say
Sorry like the angel
Heaven let me think was you, but I'm afraid

That 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
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late





I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
