Apologize
S.I.R. Remixes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never let me down momma you always believed in me
Can’t express all the things you’ve done for me
It ain’t easy tryna raise a man from what I see
Never had much help you did it on your own
Always made sure I was happy like a king on a thrown
I got older I ran around causing you some tears
Had the police calling home having you in fear
Sure he’d come by but it would be quiet stranger sounds
He didn’t know me well and never will like you do
He didn’t even know about all the courts you came to
Ima sit here and count all my good blessings
In the future ima make sure you’re never stressing
In the mean time I thank you and I love you
Just know no other lady can or will replace you
I am so completely sorry
I left you for being cruel
Oh I apologize how it hurt
When I did the things I do
But the taste of being used
There’s no other women like you I can guarantee it
Saw what others couldn’t when they said I wouldn’t be shit
Late nights I know you stayed up to make sure I made it back
Faith in your son when he was going off the tracks
You dealt with my school when I was acting bad
Suspension to being expelled I remember you were mad
Theres somethings I did that I know youll never understand
I was only a teenager when i thought when i thought I was a man
Disappointed at me when i was running in these streets
The homies that i had you accepted cause your sweet
Always showed them love and gave them your home cookin’
Trusted me so much and never went lookin’
I’m so sorry when I broke your promises and your trust
Someday Ima make it up to you thats must
Taught me everything I know and how to treat the ladies
Thanks to you I know how to care for my little babies
I am so completely sorry
I left you for being cruel
Oh I apologize how it hurt
When I did the things I do
But the taste of being used
These lyrics depict a relationship that is at the end of its rope, and one person has been hurt by their partner's actions. The first verse sets the scene with the image of the singer being held up by a rope, feeling suspended in limbo. The second line emphasizes this feeling by letting the listener know they're ten feet off the ground, which serves as a metaphor for the emotional distance they feel from their partner. The singer hears their partner talking but feels powerless to respond, suggesting that communication has broken down entirely.
The chorus begins with the partner apologizing, but it is too little too late. The singer has been cut down by their partner before, and they refuse to let it happen again. The repetition of "it's too late to apologize" emphasizes the finality of the situation and the sense that this relationship can't be salvaged. The singer has moved on and is no longer willing to give their partner the chance to hurt them again.
The second verse continues with the singer expressing how much they loved their partner in the past but now feel that love fading away. There are hints that the partner cheated, leading to the change in feelings and the partner feels guilty, asking for forgiveness like an angel but, in the end, fails to win the singer back. This song tackles a relationship that reached its climax and was hard to rekindle.

I'm holding on your rope
I am dependent on you for support and guidance
Got me ten feet off the ground
You have raised me to a higher level, but I'm afraid of heights
And I'm hearing what you say, but I just can't make a sound
I am listening to you, but I am unable to express my feelings
You tell me that you need me
You say that you depend on my presence and support
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You disappoint me and hurt me, but then you try to make amends
You tell me that you're sorry
You express remorse for your actions
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say
You didn't expect me to react in a certain way
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I don't believe your apologies anymore, it's too late to make things right
I'd take another chance, take a fall
I am willing to risk it all for you
Take a shot for you
I would do anything to protect and support you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
I am completely dependent on you for my emotional well-being
But it's nothing new, yeah, yeah
This is a familiar feeling for me, as I have always relied on you
I loved you with a fire red
I loved you with a passion and intensity
Now it's turning blue, and you say
My feelings for you have changed, and you don't understand why
Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you
Your apologies feel insincere and false to me
But I'm afraid
I am afraid of being hurt again and unable to trust you
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I am repeating myself, I don't believe you anymore
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I want you to understand that it's over between us
I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
I am still dependent on you, even though I'm afraid of falling

I have accidentally called a couple of men “ma’am”, and a couple of women “sir”, never have I ever had anybody freak out because I miss gendered their “polite” title.
