[Verse 1]

I found the phone, I must've missed your message

You got it wrong, it wasn't what your friend said

Tell by your tone, I've taken it too far again

Just when I thought I'd gone and fixed it all again

Your friends are telling you, "You gotta move on"

Just when I thought I'd gone and wrecked it all again

You turned around so I could tell you what took so long

I don't know why I ever waited to say

'Cause I'm just dying just to say it

[Chorus]

Instead of holding you, I was holding out

I should've let you in, but I let you down

You were the first to give, I was the first to ask

Now I'm in second place, to get a second chance

[Verse 2]

I should've known, that you were not for granted

Gotta let you know, I was never underhanded

Tell by your tone, I've taken it too far again

Just when I thought I'd gone and fixed it all again

My friends are telling me they saw you with someone

Just when I thought I'd gone and wrecked it all again

You turned around so I could tell you what took so long

I don't know why I ever waited to say

'Cause I'm just dying just to say it

[Chorus]

Instead of holding you, I was holding out

I should've let you in, but I let you down

You were the first to give, I was the first to ask

Now I'm in second place, to get a second chance

My last mistake, putting my friends first

I tried to laugh it off but I made things worse

You were the first to give; I was the first to ask

Now I'm in second place, to get a second chance

[Bridge]

What you give is always what you get

There's so much I haven't given yet

If you could give another second chance

Just when I thought I'd gone and fixed it all again

My friends are telling me they saw you with someone

Just when I thought I'd gone and wrecked it all again

You turned around so I could tell you what took so long

I don't know why I ever waited to say

'Cause I'm just dying just to say it

[Chorus]

Instead of holding you, I was holding out

I should've let you in, but I let you down

You were the first to give, I was the first to ask

Now I'm in second place, to get a second chance

My last mistake, putting my friends first

I tried to laugh it off but I made things worse

You were the first to give I was the first to ask

Now I'm in second place to get a second chance

[Outro]

Instead of holding you, I was holding out (second chance)

I should've let you in, but I let you down (second chance)

You were the first to give, I was the first to ask (second chance)

Now I'm in second place, to get a second chance
