The Chance

I could tell you everythings I did wrong
But all the words couldn't fit inside of this song
Memories keep coming to my mind
So how exactly do I leave the past behind

And all I wanted was chance
All you needed was a glance
To get a judge of who I am
I'm building up a dam
So you can't get in
Don't call me friend
All I wanted was chance
All you needed was a glance
To get a judge of who I am
I'm building up a dam
So you can't get in
Let's not pretend

I could tell you ten things you did wrong
And all the reasons that we don't get along
And I know that you will drag me down
So why in the world would I even stick around

And all I wanted was chance
All you needed was a glance
To get a judge of who I am
I'm building up a dam
So you can't get in
Don't call me friend
All I wanted was chance
All you needed was a glance
To get a judge of who I am
I'm building up a dam
So you can't get in
Let's not pretend

Don't call us strangers
Like we never knew each other
Should have been living
Should have been forgiving
Time it really isn't that slow
We'll be 70 before we know
I'm sorry for the things I've done
But I never ment to hurt no one

And all I wanted was chance
All you needed was a glance
To get a judge of who I am
I'm building up a dam
So you can't get in
Don't call me friend
All I wanted was chance
All you needed was a glance
To get a judge of who I am
I'm building up a dam
So you can't get in
Let's not pretend

¡Bravo! This is a spectacular song! Absolutely fantastic! I'd only suggest that you add an "a" in "all I wanted was [ ] chance"....fits the flow better.

Well done otherwise!

Thank you so much! I'll fix it.

I'm not sure if you intended for it to be but for me this read like the lyrics to a song. There was longing , sorrow , love and regret. They all,alone, make for some wonderful poetry and here you have them all in one piece. A very nice read.

Wow, thank you. I think subconsciously I did want to combine those feeling tbh.
