Half a Chance
(Anderson)
She and I said goodbye as if for just a day
Pretending we weren't ending what a year began
Everything has its price
You could say I paid twice to learn the lessons
That have grown from all the pain
Plead your youth and break my trust
Hope to ashes and love to lust
But given half a chance, my friend, I just might do it all again
She told me, "Can't you see?
I'm much too young to know just what I want, so allow me my mistakes."
I allowed, and there were more
More lonely than before I ever lived and breathed
A love that danced away
Kisses, lies, and tears combined: the richest taste of life you'll find
And given half a chance, my friend. I just might do it all again
She and I said goodbye as if for just a day
Pretending we weren't ending what a year began
And given half a chance, my friend. I just might do it all again
