Verse 1
- I’m so glad you made 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
- Your guard is up and I know why

Pre-Chorus
- ‘Cause the last time you saw me
- Is still burned in the back of your mind
- You gave me roses and I left them there to die
Chorus
- So this is me swallowing my pride
- Standing in front of you, saying I’m sorry for that night
- And I’d 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 alright
- I go back to December all the time
Verse 2
- These days I haven’t been sleeping
- Staying up playing back myself leaving
- When your birthday passed and I didn’t call
- And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
- I watched you laughing from the passenger side and
- Realized I loved you in the fall
Pre-Chorus
- 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
Chorus
- So this is me swallowing my pride
- Standing in front of you, saying I’m sorry for that night
- And I’d 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
Bridge]
- 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
- But if we 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…
- So this is me swallowing my pride (It’s too late to apologize)
- Standing in front of you, saying I’m sorry for that night (It’s too late…)
- And I go back to December (It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late)
- It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you (It’s too late to apologize)
- Wishing I’d realized what I had when you were mine (It’s too late…)
- Oh…
- He said you’re not sorry (no no no)
- You’re not sorry (no no no)
- You’re not sorry (no no no)
- You’re not sorry (no, no, no…)
