Take a chance

Don’t throw me away

You knew when I was wrong

And you stayed anyway

Take a chance

I’ll change myself not only to impress you

But also to become a better me

And I would wait it out for you

But even if time stopped on a dime

I can’t turn it back to fix my mistakes

Let me move forward to show you a sign

Instead of your mind being so frozen

I want to trade in this photographic memory of pain

Maybe someone would agree

In exchange for something vast

I could begin to lose my past

And take things one step daily
