When I first heard Apologize by One Republic I couldn’t help liking it. I just thought it was strange that it was credited Timbaland feat One Republic because I saw the video and Timbaland just added some beat, admittedly it’s catchy, and “yeah yeah yeah” hehehe. Apparently the song was written by a band member, Ryan Tedder. I thought of looking up the original version and it’s a nice, little surprise. I love to hear the clear sound of the piano, violin, and there’s even a guitar solo.
Lyrics:
I’m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
I’m hearing 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
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
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
I’m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
