Second Chances

The sun set low, casting shadows long, I'm sitting here wondering where we went wrong
With one foot out and one foot in, caught in the middle, don't know where to begin
We've had our highs, we've had our lows, but lately it's hard to see where this road goes
Do I stay and fight, or do I walk away? This heart's on the fence, can't find the words to say I'm on the fence

Come between right and wrong, between holding on and moving on
The cost of staying, the pain of leaving, both paths lead to a heart that's grieving
On the fence, and it's wearing me thin, don't know where to start, don't know where to end
We built a life, shared some dreams, but now the cracks are showing at the seams

I see the love, but I feel the strain. Do I chase the sun, or dance in the rain
We've had our highs, we've had our lows, but lately it's hard to see where this road goes
Do I stay and fight, or do I walk away? This heart's on the fence, can't find the words to say I'm on the fence
Come between right and wrong, between holding on and moving on

The cost of staying, the pain of leaving, both paths lead to a heart that's grieving
On the fence, and it's wearing me thin, don't know where to start, don't know where to end
The nights are long, and the silence deep. I lie awake while you're fast asleep
In this quiet I search my soul, for the answers to the questions that take their toll

There's a part of me that wants to stay, to fight for love, to find a way
But another part is ready to leave, to find a new start, to finally breathe
I'm on the fence, come between right and wrong, between holding on and moving on
The cost of staying, the pain of leaving, both paths lead to a heart that's grieving

On the fence, and it's wearing me thin, don't know where to start, don't know where to end
So here I stand at the crossroads tonight, with a heavy heart, and a mind in flight
Whichever way I choose to go, there's a price to pay, but I'll never know
On the fence, where the heartache lies, between goodbye and teary-eyed goodbyes

I'll make my choice, come what may, but the scars of the fence will always stay
On the fence, where the story bends, between what was and what might have been
