[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
