Second Chance
Michael Sweet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you're leaving, if you're going away
There's just one thing that I've got to say
All the things I put you through, and everything I said to you
I realize, may lead to our demise
Many times the foolish pride in me
Was the very thing that hurt you, the knife that made you bleed
Now I stand the chance of losing you and it's tearing my heart
In two
It ain't worth the price, of losing you twice

Baby if you give a second chance
I will give you true romance
And everything you thought this love was gonna be
No excuses no more lies
We deserve another try
Tell me honey, are you giving me a second chance

Remember not so long ago
When I loved you more than you'll ever know
But through the years that faded and I became so jaded
And deep inside my cares for you would hide

Many times the foolish pride in me
Was the very thing that hurt you, the knife that made you bleed
Now I stand the chance of losing you, and it's tearing my heart
In two
It ain't worth the price, of losing you twice





[Chorus]
