Second Chance

Thank you for your patience
A simple explanation
'Cause I've been lying to myself
It has taken me a while
I've been wrapped up in denial
But the truth is finally coming out
Is there a second chance for me
A new day ready to dawn
How long will circumstance own me
Just who is running the show
I don't know
There's a gaping hole
At the bottom of my soul
The more I feed it
The larger it grows
Is it better to die slowly
All this living quickly
Is really starting to get old
Is there a second chance for me
A new day ready to dawn
How long will circumstance own me
Just who is running the show
It's not so easy to see
What's standing in front of me
It's very clear to me now
There's no mistaking
All the life left in me
All the love forgiven
There's nothing holding me down
Searching through my mind
Sifting through the facts and lies
To find something I knew long ago
If there's one thing sure in life
We'll be all victims in time
So you have to save yourself or drown
Is there a second chance for me
A new day ready to dawn
How long will circumstance own me
Just who is running the show
I know
There is a second chance for me
A new day ready to dawn
No more shall circumstance own me
Now on I'm running the show
