I thought there was chance in you and I.

But what my heart was so surreal,
my heart couldn't feel the adrenaline I use to have.

You have your right;
I have mine.

You're a part of me,
and I'm not blind.

I know you like other girls.
I know I like other boys.

I know that we like each other,
or I at least like you.

You're not like any guy I ever met.

But I need to admit the truth:
I still have feelings for you.

Give me one last chance,
and I'll be alright.

You can hold my hand
Or say goodbye.

I can only imagine what's going to happen:
You'll be gone and I'll be around...

Still waiting for one last chance.
