[Intro: Timbaland]
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy

[Verse 1: Ryan Tedder, Timbaland]
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 a sound (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
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

[Chorus: Ryan Tedder, Timbaland]
It's too late to apologize
It's too late (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Woah, oh-oh (Ayy, ayy, ayy)

[Verse 2: Ryan Tedder]
I'd take another chance
Take a fall, take a shot for you, oh-woah
I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing 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

[Chorus: Ryan Tedder, Timbaland]
It's too late to apologize
It's too late (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late (Ayy, ayy, ayy)

[Bridge: Ryan Tedder, Timbaland]
Woah-woah-oh
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)
(Ayy, ayy, ayy)

[Chorus: Ryan Tedder, Timbaland]
It's too late to apologize
It's too late (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
It's too late to apologize, yeah (Too late) (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah

[Outro: Ryan Tedder]
I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground

Timbaland

Timbaland (born Timothy Zachery Mosley on March 10, 1972) is a record producer and songwriter, and occasionally does some rapping on the side.

His first full-credit production work was in 1996 on Ginuwine…the Bachelor for R&B singer Ginuwine. After further work on Aaliyah’s 1996 album One in a Million and Missy Elliott’s 1997 album Supa Dupa Fly, Timbaland became a prominent producer for R&B and hip-hop artists.

He initially released several albums under his own name (along with his fellow collaborator Magoo), and eventually developed a solo career as a producer.
