Let Me Try Again
Skank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I couldn't say goodbye
It was only self deceiving
To walk away from someone who
Means everything in life to you
You learn from every lonely day
I've learned and now I'm back to say
Let me try again
Let me try again
Think of all we had before
Let me try once more
So we can have it all
You and I again
Please forgive me or I'II die
And let me try again
I was such a fool to doubt you
To try to go it all alone
But there's no sense in life without you
But all do is just exist
And think about the chance I've missed
To beg, is not an easy task
Pride, such a foolish mask
And I say, let me try again
Let me try again
Think of all we had before
Let me try once more
So we can have it all
You and I again
Please forgive me or I'll die
Let me try again
Oh yeah, let me try again
And think of all we had
And let me try again

Line by Line Meaning
I Know I said that I was leaving
I previously declared my intention to depart
But I couldn't say goodbye
However, I found it difficult to bid farewell
It was only self deceiving
My previous statement was just a lie to myself
To walk away from someone who
As the one I'm leaving behind
Means everything in life to you
Means everything to me and my life
You learn from every lonely day
I gained wisdom from every lonely day
I've learned and now I'm back to say
I gained insight and I'm back to say
Let me try again
I'm asking for another chance
Think of all we had before
Recall all the wonderful moments we shared in the past
Let me try once more
I request one more chance to make it right
So we can have it all
So we can enjoy all the amazing things once again
You and I again
Together, you and I
Please forgive me or I'II die
I'm begging for your forgiveness or it will be the end of me
And let me try again
Please allow me to try again
Oh yeah, let me try again
Oh yes, please give me another chance
I was such a fool to doubt you
I acted foolishly by doubting you
To try to go it all alone
Trying to handle everything by myself was a mistake
But there's no sense in life without you
My life is meaningless without you in it
But all do is just exist
Without you, all I do is exist and nothing more
And think about the chance I've missed
Constantly thinking about the opportunity I lost
To beg, is not an easy task
Asking for forgiveness is not an effortless endeavor
Pride, such a foolish mask
Pride is a silly facade

Leila Tavares
Eu fiz um trabalho de inglês com essa música no 1°grau.
Ficava dando pause e play na fita e traduzia umas partes de ouvido e outras com dicionário de inglês/português. Depois, na apresentação do trabalho, coloquei a música para tocar na sala de aula.
Saudades demais!
Eu era criança naquela época e o amor pelo Skank só aumentou.
Armandinho
Eu a ouvi no rádio pela primeira vez em 94 , achei o máximo ,foi como conheci Skank. Sucesso.
Wilmar Santos
