Lyrics
A Second Chance
She slammed the door
Then went and changed the lock
Removed his name
And word spread around the block
Neighbors feel for her
He says she’s gone insane
Mother rings her bell, friends are on the phone
But she can’t explain
All those voices
Of revenge and forgiveness
Doing their dance
Such hard choices
Is it her weakness
To give him a second chance
He fooled around
Used their bed, she learned
Just had no shame
Threw away the love he never earned
And in this lonely house
His shadow still remains
She can’t sleep at night, wonders who he sees
Her mind’s caught up in chains
All those voices
Of revenge and forgiveness
Doing their dance
Such hard choices
Is it her weakness
To give him a second
Chance, for the good times
For the days his love was true
His friends all beg her to forgive him
Did she really think it through
All those voices
Of revenge and forgiveness
Doing their dance
Such hard choices
Is it her weakness
To give him
To give him
To give him
A second chance
