Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearin' what you say but I just can't make a 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
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 nothin' 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
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
It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I'm holdin' on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
The lyrics of the song "Apologize Remix" by OneRepublic revolve around a broken relationship. The singer is desperately hanging onto the relationship, but his partner has cut him down time and time again. Even though he hears their apologies, he can't bring himself to forgive and forget the past hurt. The chorus repeats the catchy phrase, "It's too late to apologize," emphasizing that the relationship is beyond repair. The singer loved their partner intensely, but now the love has turned cold and they are left with a feeling of heartbreak and disappointment.
This song reflects the common themes that arise in romantic relationships. It is a painful reminder of how easily relationships can fall apart, leaving you feeling broken and alone. The metaphors used in the song, such as "holding on your rope" and "ten feet off the ground," provide powerful imagery of the struggle to maintain the relationship. The repetition of "it's too late to apologize" puts a final stamp on the death of the relationship, closing the door on any chance of reconciliation.
