Sarah Jane Nelson - Second Chances Lyrics

You said I'd never make it on my own and I believed you, until now
I always took you back into my arms, when you swore to me, that you would turn around
But I'm tired of your lies, and today I realized, I don't have to stay

I'll take my pride, pack it in my car
Stack of books from the bedside, my dad's guitar
I'll take my favorite coffee cup, I'll be gone when you wake up
I won't let you control my circumstances
I'm gonna take my second chances

Leaping off the edge to the unknown, don't know where to begin but I'll figure it out
A studio apartment across town, I'll make it feel like home with the old couch I found
You can keep your big house and the garden that I grew, I don't need you

I'll take my pride, pack it in my car
Stack of books from the bedside, my dad's guitar
I'll take my favorite coffee cup, I'll be gone when you wake up
I won't let you control my circumstances
I'm gonna take my second chances

I'll get a bank account in my own name and find a second job
Trade the fancy things for a simple life, and that'll be enough, that'll be enough

I'll take my pride, pack it in my car
Stack of books from the bedside, my dad's guitar
I'll take my favorite coffee cup, I'll be gone when you wake up
I won't let you control my circumstances
I'm gonna take my second chances
