After all these precious years you chose to just give in Why did you leave so many things undone I only scratched the surface of the thoughts you had within and for me your life had just begun Why did you think that you were never good enough to give when you accepted me right from the start
I never saw the side of you that didn't want to live and I miss you from the bottom of my heart What was it that you never told a soul about yourself what kind of thoughts were buried inside was there really no one there you thought would understand or was the only barrier your pride
with so much love around you I just wish you'd loved yourself 'cos no one here can ever take your place you were someone special and my words just can't express how much I miss the warmth of your embrace Why did you just give in why did you just give up and let it go
I guess I'll never know It's hard to see you disappear without a real good bye there's so many things I wish I'd said But all the little things you did that made it all worthwhile meant more than all the tears you ever shed
You always seemed so happy but I guess no one can tell what goes on inside a person's mind you loved your children dearly and you did your very best and someone new like you is hard to find
Chorus All the things you went through for your children every day and all the sacrifices that you made were worth much more than anything that wealth could ever buy and now that love can never be repaid In the end I guess you couldn't take it anymore so you closed your eyes and swallowed all your pain I know that you've done the same so many times before but all the questions in my mind remain
Chances
Are you satisfied with everything the way it is Are you stuck in the conformity of minding your own biz Does a confrontation make you want to turn and run and do you think about the things you'd like to have undone Are you scared of looking back at all the things you've said and do you keep the words you'd like to say inside your head well nothing changes by itself without some kind of clash and there's always gonna be some barriers to smash Are you scared to be, scared of what you see Are you scared to change, scared to rearrange There's a chance that you never take the chances you get If you never move ahead you'll keep on looking back the only thing you're doing is just filling out the cracks Another coat of artificial paint won't change a thing unless the whole foundation gets a brand new colouring What is there to lose except some insecurity that you replace with faith to not be scared of what you see 'cos every little risk you take breaks down another wall
the biggest chance that you can take is just to let it fall Are you scared to be, scared of what you see Are you scared to change, scared to rearrange There's a chance that you never take the chances you get There's a chance you haven't taken any chances yet
