Apologize
OneRepublic(원리퍼블릭) Lyrics

I'm holdin' on your rope,
I am dependent on you and your support, and without it, I feel suspended in mid-air, in a state of vulnerability.

Got me ten feet off the ground.
My emotional security is fragile and dependent on you, and without it, I feel unbalanced and insecure.

And I'm hearin' what you say,
I am listening to your words and trying to understand what you are communicating to me.

But I just can't make a sound.
Despite listening to you, I find it hard to express myself or communicate my own thoughts and feelings.

You tell me that you need me,
You express to me that you require my presence, support, and love in your life.

Then you go and cut me down.
Despite your words, your actions cause me pain and make me feel unimportant or insignificant to you.

But wait.
Although what you said and did hurt me, I am willing to pause and consider what you have to say next.

You tell me that you're sorry,
You acknowledge that you made a mistake, and you apologize for it.

Didn't think I'd turn around.
You didn't anticipate that I would forgive you or reconsider the situation.

And say.
Despite your initial expectations, I am willing to respond to your apology and address the situation.

That it's too late to apologize.
I recognize that although you are sorry, it is too late to undo the damage that has been done.

It's too late.
Despite my previous willingness to listen and consider forgiving you, my emotional state has evolved to one that cannot be undone.

I'd take another chance,
Although hurt, I am willing to give you another chance and trust you again.

Take a fall, take a shot for you.
I am willing to put myself at risk and sacrifice to support you and make things work between us.

I need you like a heart needs a beat,
Without you, my life and emotions are incomplete and lacking a vital component.

But it's nothin' new, yeah!
Although my emotional dependence on you is not new, it is still just as significant and meaningful to me as ever before.

I loved you with a fire red,
My passion and love for you were intense, fiery, and all-consuming.

Now it's turnin' blue.
My love for you has faded and weakened, leaving me feeling emotionally cold and empty.

And you say.
Despite this change in my feelings, I am still willing to listen and cooperate with you.

Sorry, like an angel
You apologize for your actions in a way that is sincere, heartfelt, and almost angelic.

Heaven let me think was you.
Your apology seems like a divine act, one that allows me to see you as the person I believed you to be all along.

But I'm afraid.
Despite my willingness to listen and work things out, my emotional damage and fear of further hurt prevent me from fully trusting you again.

It's too late to apologize.
Despite your sincerity and efforts to make things right, the emotional wounds are too deep and irreversible at this point.

Whoa!
An expression of surprise, shock, or disbelief at the situation and the actions of both parties involved.

I said it's too late to apologize,
I reiterate the fact that the situation is beyond repair and cannot be undone, no matter how much either of us might want it to be different.

yeah!
An exclamation of steadfastness, conclusiveness, and finality, indicating that further discussion or negotiation on this topic is no longer necessary or productive.
