Artist：One Republic 
Song：Apologize

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 you 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 that's nothing new)
Yeah yeah

I loved you with a firein 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
Woahooo woah

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, a yeahah
I said it's too late to apologize, a yeahah

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