Take your head around the world
See what you get
From your mind
Write your soul down word for word

She gets her second chance. She can go explore the world, learn what she will. Learn herself. Find out who she really is, mill over her long and dreary days when she wonders what she was put here for. She will have an answer.

See who's your friend
And who is kind
It's almost like a disease
I know soon you will be

Don't let others hold you down. Do what you want, because you are young and deserve to have what you want. It's like a disease in the form that I can't get you out of my mind.

Over the lies, you'll be strong
You'll be rich in love
And you will carry on
But you won't be mine

You are the strongest person I know, physically and mentally. You could survive what most people couldn't even glimpse. You will have a good long life. You'll love and be happy. You'll get through the dark days without so much as a second chance, but you won't be mine.

Take your straight line for a curve
Make it stretch in the same old line
Try to find if it was worth what you spent

Take your new life and compare it to the way things used to be. What has changed, everything, nothing? Would you have changed things, was it happy, unbearable? Is your new life worth what you went through to get here?

Why you're feeling guilty for the way
You're feeling now
It's almost like being free
I know soon you will be

Don't blame yourself for the past. Or blame yourself for the past. It's not my place to say. It's like being free isn't it, the second chance. To bad mine came too late, or not at all…

Take yourself out to the curb
Sit and wait
A fool for life
It's almost like a disease
I know soon you will be

I will always hold you in my heart. But you don't belong to me. Were you ever? I like to think so. I miss you everyday, but it's over.

You got your second chance, but I don't know if you ever got a first one.

Over the lies, you'll be strong
You'll be rich in love
And you will carry on
But you won't be mine

You won't be mine.
