What are My Chances?

I�ll take my chance, the best I can.
When you�re not here, it�s hard to breathe.
It won�t be the same again,
If you follow routine and leave.

It makes no sense that I�m without you,
I�ve tried so hard to no success.
Why do I come after you the way I do?
Why do you attract me in those boots & dress?

Give me a chance, to make amends.
Give your heart a chance to grow.
My aching sore of a soul pretends
That we�re together and letting love flow.

What do I tell my neighbors, what should I say?
That the girl I loved so much has gone.
That she has left me on this bittersweet day.
Singing the same bitter, lonely song.

Drowning in the waters of my own sickness,
I arrive at no decision but to let you vacate.
Tears fall from the light to midnight�s darkness,
All night long I weep at my loveless fate.

Sometimes I can�t move my feet,
Like a cold grip around my body forms.
I always wondered how this union would complete�
If only I could figure out why your essence warms.

If only I could know before you closed the door�
But I�ll live in mystery, for now and evermore.
