**ONE MORE CHANCE**

**Verse 1**
You used to leave the hallway light
And wait for me to turn the key.
Too many nights I came back late
And blamed the world instead of me.
You tried to tell me what you needed;
I’d find a reason you were wrong.
Now every room feels twice as empty,
And I know why you’ve been gone.

**Pre-Chorus**
I can’t take back the words I said
Or give those wasted evenings back.
But I can face the man I’ve been
And quit defending all of that.

**Chorus**
Give me one more chance to get it right,
To be the man you needed all this time.
Let me listen when you’re hurting,
Let me stay when things get hard,
Keep the little promises
I used to disregard.
I know a song won’t make you trust me
Or undo those lonely nights—
But if there’s room for us tomorrow,
Give me one more chance to get it right.

**Verse 2**
I still remember Sunday morning,
Your coffee cooling by the door.
You said, “I’m tired of feeling lonely.”
I said, “What are you asking for?”
You weren’t asking me for diamonds
Or a life we couldn’t afford.
You just wanted me there beside you,
And I made that feel like a chore.

**Pre-Chorus**
This time I won’t rush your forgiveness
Or tell you when you ought to heal.
You’ve heard enough about my intentions;
You deserve something real.

**Bridge**
If you say you can’t come back,
I won’t say you didn’t try.
You held on longer than I deserved;
I won’t make you tell me why.
But if you reach across this table,
I’ll meet you halfway there.
And when this moment’s over,
I’ll still be showing up to care.

**Final Chorus**
Give me one more chance to get it right,
In the ordinary days, not just tonight.
With the phone put down at dinner,
With the truth when I’m afraid,
With an honest “I was wrong”
And every promise kept I’ve made.
I don’t expect you to believe me
Just because these words sound right—
But if there’s room for us tomorrow,
Give me one more chance to get it right.

**Outro**
I’ll start by listening tonight…
One more chance to get it right.
