One Chance Lyrics by Eric Clapton

Pilgrim

1998

[Verse 1]
Without wishing to cause you any pain
I got to push on through, babe
And if I take the chance of seeing you again
I just don't know what I would do, baby

And sometimes I think I'm going to be just fine
All I got to do is go through it, babe
Then I hear those voices in the back of my mind
Telling me over and over and over that I blew it babe

[Chorus]
You had one chance and you blew it
You may never get another chance
You had the floor and you knew it
You can't blame it on your circumstance

[Verse 2]
At the risk of causing you a little pain
I'm gonna have to forget you, babe
'Cause you broke my heart, left it out in the rain
And you'd do the same again, if I let you, babe

I would give anything to hold you in my arms
But you know I can't do that, baby
I guess I'll have to live with the choice that I have made
Even though deep down I still suspect that I blew it

[Chorus][x4]
