If I change my mind
and ask you to stay
will you give me a chance
will you give me a day
if I make you a promise
might you be okay
with the happiness
in the words I say
I have evidence
of the price I pay
for the attitude
that come what may
I cannot give you
without some delay
the bits of me
you deserve today
but I think I've been wrong
and I just want to say
if you'll give me a chance
I'll try all the way.
