Chance
Courtney Noelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you think I'm just giving you a hard time
But I just think I should really take my time

'Cause my heart's been broken
He ripped it up, he let me down
My scars are open
So I was hoping you might be different
Tell me that you're different, babe, babe

Tell me what's on your mind
Tell me you got the time
Tell me if I'm on your mind
Tell me like all the time

'Cause I gotta be for sure
You won't never let me go

'Cause I'm giving you a chance at my love
Giving you a chance at my love
Giving you a chance at my love
My love, my love
I'm giving you a chance at my love
Giving you a chance at my love
Giving you a chance at my love
My love, my love

I hope you know I'm not tryna make this hard
But I don't know if I can let down my guard

'Cause he hurt me, baby
He let me down, he let me while
My heart was breaking
So I'm just taking my time to be sure
You're not like the one before
So tell me

Tell me what's on your mind
Tell me you got the time
Tell me if I'm on your mind
Tell me like all the time

'Cause I gotta be for sure
You won't never let me go

'Cause I'm giving you a chance at my love
Giving you a chance at my love
Giving you a chance at my love
My love, my love
I'm giving you a chance at my love
Giving you a chance at my love
Giving you a chance at my love
My love, my love

Every time I think about you
You got me going crazy
'Cause I don't wanna be without you
So please don't leave me, baby

Every time I think about you
You got me going crazy
'Cause I don't wanna be without you
So please don't leave me, baby

'Cause I'm giving you a chance at my love
Giving you a chance at my love
Giving you a chance at my love
My love, my love
I'm giving you a chance at my love
Giving you a chance at my love




Giving you a chance at my love
My love, my love
