[Verse 1] I left you on read Then sat with my pride My phone on the table Your name in my mind Days turned to hours Then into the week I knew I should answer But I couldn't speak [Pre-Chorus] Now I'm here with the truth In the palm of my hand I was lost in my head Didn't mean to let go [Chorus] Sorry for taking so long to reply Sorry for taking so long to reply You were right there I was out of my mind Sorry for taking so long to reply (sorry, sorry) Sorry for taking so long to reply [Verse 2] I saw your last message Like a light in the dark My thumb kept hovering My heart in a knot No grand excuse Just me being scared I know that silence Wasn't fair [Pre-Chorus] Now I'm here with the truth In the palm of my hand I was lost in my head Didn't mean to let go [Chorus] Sorry for taking so long to reply Sorry for taking so long to reply You were right there I was out of my mind Sorry for taking so long to reply (sorry, sorry) Sorry for taking so long to reply [Bridge] If you let me back in I'll do better this time Less holding my breath More saying what's mine I don't want a shield I don't want a lie I just want your name Back on my line [Final Chorus] Sorry for taking so long to reply Sorry for taking so long to reply You were right there I was out of my mind Sorry for taking so long to reply (take my call) Sorry for taking so long to reply
