Chance Lyrics by Jay Parish

Test Results: A Songwriter Experiment

2016

You’re convinced
That romance will never work
‘Cause all it’s done for you
Is get you hurt

And now you shut it down
Before it starts
‘Cause there’s no room left
On your heart for another scar

So now you miss that love so much
But you won’t admit it
‘Cause you don’t want the tears and the lies
That might come with it

And now you miss that love so much
But you won’t admit it
‘Cause you don’t want to be the only one
With your heart in it

But just give me a chance to break your heart
So I don’t
Just give me a chance to let you down
And I won’t

If you let me hold your heart together
I’ll make sure it beats forever
You give me a chance to do you wrong
You give me a chance, I’ll prove you wrong

Just give me a chance
Just give me a chance

This is not the way
You want to live
But you’re sick of someone
Begging you to forgive

And you always do
What you think is right
Just to find out
You’re the only one who tried

So now you miss that love so much
But you won’t admit it
‘Cause you don’t want the tears and the lies
That might come with it

And now you miss that love so much
But you won’t admit it
‘Cause you don’t want to be the only one
With your heart in it

But just give me a chance to break your heart
So I don’t
Just give me a chance to let you down
And I won’t

If you let me hold your heart together
I’ll make sure it beats forever
You give me a chance to do you wrong
You give me a chance, I’ll prove you wrong

Just give me a chance
Just give me a chance

There’s so much that
I can promise I’ll do
But I don’t know
How to convince you I can

So let me be the one
With everything to lose
Just let me put my heart
In your hands

And I’ll give you a chance to break my heart
So you don’t
I’ll give you a chance to let me down
So you won’t

If I let you hold my heart together
You’ll make sure it beats forever
I’ll give you a chance to do me wrong
I’ll give you a chance to prove me wrong

Just give me a chance
Just give me a chance
Just give me a chance
