Second Chance

I've been strong for so long

But I'm breaking inside, oh-oh

Lost my mom when I was eight years old

Learned to hide the pain, keep my heart on hold

Built these walls so high, nobody could see

The little boy inside who just wants to be free

Yeah, I smile through the hurt, yeah

Wear this mask like it's armor, but it doesn't work

I thought you'd understand me

You lost your mother too

But I was too nonchalant, baby

Didn't know how to love like you

Now I'm standing here broken

Asking for one more try

Give me a second chance, oh

Let me get this right, yeah

Never learned to show love the way I should

Grew up cold when I wanted to be good

You walked away and I can't even blame you

But girl, these feelings, they remain true

I'm confused and I'm hurting, oh-oh

Trying to change but this heart needs learning

I thought you'd understand me

You lost your mother too

But I was too nonchalant, baby

Didn't know how to love like you

Now I'm standing here broken

Asking for one more try

Give me a second chance, oh

Let me get this right, yeah

And you said it depends on me, hey!

You still got feelings, I can see

This time I'll tear down every wall

Show you I can give you my all, come on

You said you'd understand me

If I learn to let you through

No more being nonchalant, baby

I'm ready to love like you

No longer standing here broken

You gave me one more try

This is our second chance, oh

And I'll get this right

I'll get this right, oh-oh

Our second chance tonight
