Chances

Time to end this mess
 We're living in
 Looking back at the past
 Think of what could have been
 The love has faded
 Withered way
 We keep holding on
 Wanting to stay
 But it's gone, gone away
 You said one more day
 Then it's two 
 Grasping at chances
 What are we looking for?
 Nothing to give
 Nothing no more
 We cashed in our memories
 Individual now
 You keep walking back somehow

 Decisions to make
 You'll stay, stay
 But baby we'll break
 This heart is beating
 You're my heartache 
 Stay
 Stay away

 Tomorrow is another day
 Again you'll turn and walk away 
 I am begging you to stay
 Stay, stay
 You gave our hearts another chance
 Broke it in two
 Killed the romance
 Baby you don’t want to leave
 Maybe the end is harder to believe 
 So I'll stay
 Stay away
 Decisions to make

 Decisions to make
 You'll stay, stay away
 You'll walk away
 But baby we'll break
 This heart is beating
 You're my heartache
 Stay
 Stay, stay away

 Decisions to make
 Chances we'll take
 We will never know
 You stayed
 Stayed away
