I don’t know if I want to be with you
And your intentions could be good
But while my heart saying second chance
My mind screaming we’re through, it’s no good
Chances like that I don’t believe in
Which means people rarely receive one from me
It’s not that I’m being selfish
But it’s because in relationships
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Free to be loved and protected
But also wounded and scarred
And I’m fine with these things
Because that’s how first chances are
See second chances are different
There’s no telling if things will change
So who told everyone about second chances
Where you could go through the same crap again
You may say people like me are afraid of the pain
And that is where you are wrong
I for one think heartbreak helps you grow
And learn from mistakes that are old
See that’s exactly the point I’m trying to make
And who knows
A second chance could be great
But I’ll rather be content with no regrets
Than give a chance to you once more
And have the people who love me think
Oh how stupid is she.
