Karma's Chance

For my would•have•been diamond in the rough
I hope my love for you someday will be enough
If it's not, baby, it's all that I've got
Showing my heart mercy is what I ask the lot
'Cause my heartstrings are about to break
In this crazy - and maybe drastic - mistake
I've tried already - and I loved you way too late
If you're ready or not - all I can do is wait
Show me mercy when you proceed to break my black heart
Make us end like a professional masterpiece of art
'Cause the peaceful ending will be coming very soon...
Please save me from your uncertain doom
'Cause your heart for me no longer has anymore zoom
For my unwanted silhouette to loom
In the sad rejected energies of your pink & pillow-princess room
If you change your mind & suddenly want me - I may not be around
'Cause right now I'm in the foyér of another woman's stomping ground
In my piano chair she bought me, I sit and give a quick glance
To the girl who wouldn't ever give me a chance
Who coldly rejected my courageous & overly-infused romance
So if you change your mind and remember you want me
You'll have to find somebody else to set you on fire and free
'Cause right now someone else's delicate heart is tied up vulnerably to me
So please hold your tears if you decide to ever come along
I'm now dancing to another woman's beat & song
She's been good to me from my initial courageous & overly-infused romance
Because she never said no without first giving me the chance...
