You Gave Me No Second Chance
You Gave Me No Second Chance
All that I once so dearly loved,
sweet joys blessedly known;
crashed when push came to shove,
are poor fair now that you are gone!
Pain rips the cool from the winds,
great sorrows fill my heart;
once we were lovers, now it all ends
as I pray for yet another start!
An arm offered for your sweet kiss,
you refused with a locked gate.
All of you is what I dearly miss
and I cry now because you hate!
I begged for compassion yet again,
your heart laughed with glee;
I have no desire to only be a friend,
you scoff at my tortured plea!
Pain rips the cool from the winds,
great sorrows fill my heart;
once we were lovers, now it all ends
as I pray for yet another start!
