Second Chance

Should I let you back in again?
Should I give you a second chance?
Should I again give you my affection?
Do you deserve a second glance?

You once claimed you cared for me.
But then you lost your way.
And now you want my love again.
But this time, will you stay?

You broke my heart into pieces.
You tore me limb from limb.
But now you've returned.
Can I begin to trust you again?

I once envisioned a perfect life.
You and I united as family.
But you broke my trust and your promises.
Can I expect you to truly love me?

I let you inside of my world.
I showed you a side of myself so few have seen.
But you threw me away like trash.
You found yourself a new queen.

I don't know what to think now.
I don't know what to say.
Should we give this a second try,
Or would I be safer to go my own way?

That's the trickiness of second chances.
You can never be sure what you'll see.
Betray me once, shame on you.
Betray me twice, shame on me.
