"Apologize" – One Republic

Chapter 5

I'M HOLDING ON YOUR ROPE,

GOT ME TEN FEET OFF THE GROUND

I'M HEARIN' WHAT YOU SAY BUT I JUST CAN'T MAKE A SOUND

YOU TELL ME THAT YOU NEED ME

Sami stayed at the airport for over an hour crying at the window, she couldn't bare to get up and leave because that meant admitting that she lost him. That he left and she had no way to get him back, they were really over and she didn't quite know how to handle that. The stewardess recognized her and called for her sister Belle to come get her, knowing she would never make it home on her own.

"Sami, what are you doing here?" Belle said as she walked over to her sister and sat down next to her.

"What are you doing here?"

"The lady at the counter I knew in school and she called me because she was worried about you. She said you've been her for over an hour. What happened?"

"He left, I kept pushing and he left."

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…

"What are you talking about?" Belle asked, not realizing at first that she meant Ej.

"Ej, he left, he wrote me this and left. Now I don't know where he is and I think it's too late."

"I thought you wanted him to leave, you said you were over and that you could never trust him again. Why is it bad that he left?"

"Because I love him more than anything. I don't know what to do without him in my life; he has been there for so long now that I don't know how to live without him with me. This last year has been torture and I really don't think I can go on like this. I have barely left my house and all I do is cry. I can't stop crying because the one person who can help me is the one that's making me cry." She said and once again fell to pieces in the chair, this time with her sister there trying to calm her but not knowing how.

IT'S TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE, IT'S TOO LATE

I SAID IT'S TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE, IT'S TOO LATE

Sami just cried for a while before Belle could convince her to head to the car and go home. It was the first time that someone came to Sami's rescue besides Ej and she was grateful for it, grateful that someone was trying to save her from the prison she put herself in. But all the while, trying to call his phone that she finally found out had been disconnected, it was too late!

Belle spent hours listening to Sami cry before she finally fell asleep on the couch out of sheer exhaustion. It was then that Belle seen the letter still in her hands and got it away just to read what it said. As she read she understood why Sami went running after Ej, she really did love him. Despite everything, she loved him and nothing was ever going to change that. Belle looked down at her sister and wished she had that courage, maybe if she did she wouldn't have lost Shawn to Mimi.

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

I LOVED YOU WITH A FIRE RED-

NOW IT'S TURNIGN BLUE, AND YOU SAY…

"SORRY" LIKE THE ANGEL HEAVEN LET ME THINK WAS YOU

BUT I'M AFRIAD…

In Sami's dreams she had gotten to Ej in time and the two of them went back to her apartment where he told her he loved her and was putting her on a pedastool that no one would take her from. She had the love of her life and felt like the queen of his world, being put on a pedastool that only he would get her down from.

I'TS TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE, IT'S TOO LATE

I SAID IT'S TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE, IT'S TOO LATE

But then the dream turned into a nightmare as she fell from her pedastol and became what everyone always saw her as, the woman that no one wanted after a night. Just as he walked out of the door laughing, he smiled and said:

"It's too late, you blew it and we will never be what we were. You should have understood what it was like to lie to hold onto to someone you loved but you didn't and now its your turn to cry." He said and walked out of her apartment and out of her life. She instantly woke up screaming and Belle grabbed her.

"It was only a dream, calm down, it was just a dream."

"No no it was a nightmare. It's too late, I cant just apologize this time, it's too late for us. He's gone and I'm never going to find him." She said and cried harder, knowing that her dream was a sign, she lost him. He said he's always be there for her and she needed him now, she needed him to come back to her and he was no where to be found and the phone she relied on to call him to her was off. She was left alone in the cold and no longer knew what to do.

I'TS 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 HOLING ON YOUR ROPE, GOT ME TEN FEET OFF THE GROUND…

"Sami he loves you, this letter proves that. I've never known you to give up, nothing ever said you would give up, so fight for him. Don't be foolish and loose him like I lost Shawn, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Fight for him! You're the only one that can do this, he left because you told him to. Now tell him to come back!" She said and seen the smile crossing her sisters face, knowing that was exactly what Sami was going to do and for one happy that's who she was.
