Apologize

*these are the lyrics for "apologize" by One republic*
[[- I feel as if these lyrics have a meaning-]]

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...

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 it'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

Bridge (guitar/piano)

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 holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...

The song is about a man who's heart was broken by a girl who never seemed to notice him until he was gone. The symbolic part of the song is him saying "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" is the fact that he hung himself and he can't respond to her sadness of it and her apoligizing to the fact that she know's what she did wrong, and why he's gone now. But hey, it could just be me.
