I'm so glad you made the time to see me
How's life, tell me how's your family
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
You're guard is up, and I know why
Because the last time you saw me
It's still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go
Back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't
Nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had
When you were mine
I'd go back to December
Turn around and make it all right
I go back to December all the time
These days I haven't been sleeping
Stayin' up playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
Then I think about summer all the beautiful times
I watch you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came the dark days
When fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and
All I gave you was goodbye
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go
Back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't
Nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had
When you were mine
I'd go back to December
Turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms
That September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
If you loved again I swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door I understand
And then he said, it's too late to apologize
It's too late
He said, it's too late to apologize
It's too late
But, this is me swallowing my pride
(It's too late to apologize)
Standing in front of you
(It's too late)
saying I'm sorry for that night
(It's too late to apologize)
And I go back to December
(It's too late)
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
(Its too late to apologize)
Wishing I'd realized what I had
(It's too late)
when you were mine
(It's too late to apologize)
Oh ho oh oh
(It's too late)
He said you're not sorry
(It's too late to apologize
No, no, no
(It's too late)
You're not sorry
(It's too late to apologize)
No, no, no
(It's too late)
You're not sorry
(It's too late to apologize)
No, no, no
(It's too late)
You're not sorry
No, no, no
