Second time around

Verse 1

I still got your number in my phone

But I don’t dial it anymore

First time hurt, yeah I barely slept

Second time cut a little more

Thought I learned what love could do

Where it bends and where it breaks

But you showed me hearts don’t just crack once

Sometimes they shatter twice the same

Pre-Chorus

I told myself I’d see it coming

Swore I’d never fall that hard again

Chorus

But here I am, second time around

Same old road, just a different town

Same goodbye, same slammed door sound

Same tears falling down

You’d think I’d know how to let you go

After the first time tore me down

But it hurts a little deeper now

This second time around

Verse 2

We said forever like we meant it

Like it wasn’t just a word

Now your side of this old bed

Feels a whole lot colder than before

I packed up all the memories

In a box I can’t outgrow

Guess some lessons take a lifetime

And some wounds don’t ever close

Pre-Chorus

I tried to guard what I was feeling

But you found a way back in

Chorus

And here I am, second time around

Same old road, just a different town

Same goodbye, same slammed door sound

Same tears falling down

You’d think I’d know how to let you go

After the first time tore me down

But it hurts a little deeper now

This second time around

Bridge

Maybe I’m just hardheaded

Or maybe I still believe

That love’s worth all the breaking

Even when it breaks me

Final Chorus

So here I am, second time around

Standing in the fallout now

Trying to breathe, trying not to drown

In what we couldn’t work out

Yeah I’ll heal, yeah I’ll move on somehow

Like I did back then, I’ll figure it out

But it hurts a little deeper now

This second time around

Outro

Yeah it hurts a little deeper now…

Second time around
