Second Chance (Warner Germany Acoustic Session)

Just so everyone knows, this is Mr. Nick Perri on the lead guitar
Barry Kerch is right back there
My name is Brent Smith
Once again, thank you very much for being here

The next song that we're gonna do, um
Was at a place and a point in my life where I had put up enough walls around myself
About the subject of talking about my mother and my father and my upbringing
The reality is that this is song came from
The frustration of not being able to get these emotions out
Through years of, of growing up with them
I love them dearly, but this was a song
A statement to them as to why I left home when I did
And now doing what I dreamed about doing since I was born
This song is called Second Chance

My eyes are open wide
By the way, I made it through the day
And I watch the world outside
By the way, I'm leaving out today

'Cause I just saw Halley's Comet, she waved
And said, "Why you always running in place?"
'Cause even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

So, tell my mother, tell my father that I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, and I hope they understand
That I'm not angry, I'm just saying
That sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
'Cause this is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today

Well, I just saw Halley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why you always running in place?"
'Cause even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in that stratosphere

So, tell my mother, tell my father that I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, and I hope they understand
That I'm not angry, I'm just saying
That sometimes goodbye is a second chance

'Cause here is my chance
This is my chance

So, tell my mother, tell my father, I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, and I hope they understand
That I'm not angry, and I'm just saying
That sometimes goodbye is a second chance

That sometimes goodbye is a second chance
That sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Thank you
