I didnt give as much as take
That was my first mistake
I learned my lesson much too late
But you wounded heart wouldnt wait
Until I saw the answers
Were right there in your eyes
But now I know the answers
Ive learned to compromise
The next time
I swear Ill take each moment
And weight it in my hand
Try to understand the other side
Not just mine
My love wont be blind
The next time
Therell be a happy ending
Cause now my heart can see
How lonely right can be
I wish there didnt have to be
A next time
Im getting stronger everyday
But Id wish the past away
If I could convince your heart to stay
If I could just find a way
To let you see Im changing
And show you who I am
Its up to me to change things
I promise that I can
Give me a chance to show you the next time
Give me a chance
I swear Ill come through
The next time
Im gonna take each precious moment
And hold it in my hand
Ill understand your feelings
Not just mine
I wont be so blind
The next time
Theres gonna be a happy ending
Cause now my heart can see
How lonely right can be
I wish there didnt have to be
A next time
Give me a chance to show you
The next time
Give me a chance
