It's too late to apologise

When people hurt us, the best thing we can do is let them go with forgiveness, love and light. This doesn't excuse what they did; and it doesn't mean you have to accept their behaviour or let them back into your life. It simply means that you deserve to feel and experience the peace and freedom that forgiveness gives you. Let your love and light inspire grace, compassion, and mercy. Blessings. 

It's too late to apologise

You're standing on your soapbox
Ready to make a speech 
You think that it will sway me
All the passion and reasons you give

But, you don't seem to fathom
You don't seem to have a clue 
I'm beyond your persuasion
My heartbreak was a wake-up move

Well, I can forgive the hurt
I can even move on again
But I want nothing more to do with you
My tracks are for a different train

Because...

It's too late to apologise
(Too late, too late)
It's too late for you and I
(Too late, too late)

Too late to apologise
(Too late, too late)
One day you'll know the sacrifice 
(Too late, too late)

Forgive and forget 
Doesn't take away my pride
Forgive and forget
Doesn't give you another try

You're standing on your soapbox
You think it's about dramatic deeds
But humility and real remorse
Would make a far better deal

I look at you in disbelief
I can't understand your ways
It's complete insanity
So, all I can do is hope and pray 

Because...

It's too late to apologise
(Too late, too late)
It's too late for you and I
(Too late, too late)

Too late to apologise
(Too late, too late)
One day you'll know the sacrifice 
(Too late, too late)

Forgive and forget 
Doesn't take away your lies
Forgive and forget
Doesn't (ever) give you another try

Because...

It's too late to apologise
(Too late, too late)
It's too late for you and I
(Too late, too late)

Too late to apologise
(Too late, too late)
One day you'll know the sacrifice 
(Too late, too late)
