The Second Chance

Talked about, told a lie
Done so bad you wanna cry

Wrongly accused, lied on
All for things you hadn’t done

Arguments, huge fights
Feeling pain at ridiculous heights

Fed up, say goodbye
Now they sit and wonder why

Takes a minute, miss you bad
Finally realize what they had

Had it good, you were true
Begin feeling a little incomplete without you

Problem solved, you moved on
Now they miss you since you’re gone

Find their way back, always do
Expect you to forgive them too

Mind says “NO”, heart disagrees
Silently begging “Forgive them please”

You give in, don’t pretend
You’ll be no more than “just a friend”

You forgive, but may never forget
Just how often your face was wet

Forget the drama, ignore the strife
Let them back into your life

Can’t believe you forgave them, stuck in a trance
Don’t worry, you’re just  a firm believer in The Second Chance
