Second Chance Heart

Lyrics

Verse 1
I count the years in my hands
Like coins I dropped in rain
I held my breath through the hard parts
And called it learning pain
I missed the good while it was there
Too busy with the weight
Now I look back through the window
And feel the time I waste

Pre-Chorus
If I could turn it around
I’d hold every day more close
I’d trade my fear for the truth
And love the life I chose

Chorus
I want a second chance
(Second chance)
I want a kinder view
(kinder view)
I’d hold on to the small things
And see them all the way through
I’d do it better this time
Better this time
With a softer heart
I’d do it better this time

Verse 2
I’ve been so tired of fighting
Still I’m here in the fight
Every scar I carry forward
Proves I reached for life
I never gave up on breathing
Even when my knees were weak
I kept my name in the dark
Kept my faith underneath

Pre-Chorus
If I could turn it around
I’d say what I should have said
I’d thank the hands that stayed with me
And lift up my head

Chorus
I want a second chance
(Second chance)
I want a kinder view
(kinder view)
I’d hold on to the small things
And see them all the way through
I’d do it better this time
Better this time
With a softer heart
I’d do it better this time

Bridge
If I’m near the final line
Let me not waste the light
Let me leave with less regret
And more love in my sight
I don’t want to disappear
I just want my soul to bloom
Be who I was meant to be
Before the curtain moves

Chorus
I want a second chance
(Second chance)
I want a kinder view
(kinder view)
I’d hold on to the small things
And see them all the way through
I’d do it better this time
Better this time
With a softer heart
I’d do it better this time
