Lyrics

Isn?t it the way
To long for the next chance
Waiting for the day
You?re holding my hand
Reason it away
We?re trapped by circumstance
I don?t want to stay alone
But it looks like I just may yet
If I don?t find a better way
Looks like I just may yet
If I don?t find a better way
Hey hey

Maybe I?m afraid
To trust my instincts
You wanted me again
You?re not that innocent
I don?t want to say
That I knew what I?d get
I don?t want to stay alone
But it looks like I just may yet
If I don?t find a better way
Looks like I just may yet
If I don?t find a better way
Hey hey

Let it get the best of me from the start
Bitterness kept by a broken heart
Living with the rest of it
Over and over
I hope I can change that
But it feels like I?ve been held from within
Its something that I couldn?t possibly begin
To understand
No will to forgive
No will to forget

Hope that I don?t ever hear your voice again
Hope that I don?t ever cross your path again

Isn?t it the way..

Hope that I don?t ever hear your voice again
Hope that I don?t ever cross your path again
Oh I hope I?m not second choice again
Hope that I don?t ever cross your path again
You?ll be fine
But I hope you don?t go giving your love away.
