You got second chances

Verse 1

You could disappear for weeks at a time

Come back with a reason and I'd call it fine

I learned every scar you were trying to hide

Held the pieces together when you came undone inside

You had bad days, bad moods, bad calls

I built a bridge every time you let it fall

But the moment I stumbled, the moment I slipped

You looked at me different and that was it

Pre-Chorus

I forgave the storms, the silence, the blame

But one wrong step and everything changed

Chorus

You got second chances

I got a final goodbye

Every time you stumbled

I stayed right by your side

I learned all your reasons

You never learned mine

You got second chances

I got a final goodbye

Your mistakes were moments

Mine became reasons for you to leave

Funny how forgiveness changed

Depending on whose heart it needed to reach

Verse 2

I defended you in rooms you'd never see

Fought battles for you that weren't mine to keep

But every time I needed the same from you

You disappeared when the smoke came through

I carried your failures like they were mine

You carried my worst moment for a lifetime

Now looking back, I finally understand

Love shouldn't feel like a one-sided hand

Pre-Chorus

I gave you grace when grace was hard to find

You gave me judgment dressed up as goodbye

Chorus

You got second chances

I got a final goodbye

Every time you stumbled

I stayed right by your side

I learned all your reasons

You never learned mine

You got second chances

I got a final goodbye

Your mistakes were moments

Mine became reasons for you to leave

Funny how forgiveness changed

Depending on whose heart it needed to reach

Bridge

Now I see the truth I couldn't see then

Some people want mercy but won't give it back again

It wasn't one mistake that broke us apart

It was two different rules for two different hearts

Final Chorus

You got second chances

I got a final goodbye

But losing you taught me

I don't have to spend my life

Proving I'm worthy

Of love that's already mine

You got second chances

And I got my life

Outro

Your mistakes were moments

Mine became reasons for you to leave

But walking away from that story

Was the second chance I gave to me
