Lost Chances

And then I drop my head again 
Cringing inside and wishing so hard 
Why I picked that troubled card 
Lost so much, gained only pain 

And then I drop my head again 
Blessed with love and all the care 
Bestowed happiness, more than my share 
The wealth and riches I just let drain 

And then I drop my head again 
Friends so close with hearts of gold 
Inspiring me, making me bold 
Lost them all, am I insane? 

And then I drop my head again 
Life's too short to let pass by 
Grasp it hard, with head held high 
Sadly, I have missed the train 

And then I drop my head again
