Analysis of Second Thought
My tears want to run down my face ,
But I try to hold them inside .
Not letting my pain show ,
How long can I hide them ?
The worst part of pain is the
Moments shared with you .
I gave you my love ... My soul ..
And in return you played me .
Should I carry these feelings ?
Do you deserve a second thought ?
My life was happy and I wanted to
Believe ...
But no chance
What kind of explaination will you
Give ?
What good excuses do you think
I'll believe ?
The second time around I won't be so nieave...
