Chance

I did what I'd been so relieved to put behind me. I wished my life was over So I wouldn't have to look at what I messed up. But they say you work miracles For the broken and the sweating. Today I destroyed everything I had. Today I gave up. Today I screwed every chance I had. I couldn't believe it. But they say you work miracles And that you brought someone back from the grave. I heard about the water and the wine. They say you can change anything They even say you work miracles That you are a celebration You don't have to be anything Anyone wants to see To come to. I lost. I didn't learn; I am so afraid. You are probably sick of me, I definitely am. I shouldn't have a second chance I don't deserve grace But they say you work miracles.
