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
