Take a chance on me

I sit and watch you smile and cry
cherish your heart and wonder why
you choose to drown in this pain
your tears blanket your face like rain

you say you feel regret and sorrow
then deny your feelings on the morrow
i breaks my heart to see you this way
my tongue is still with nothing to say

i pray to god and all in heaven above
that you will accept my unconditional love
there are worst things in this world that you can be
the least of these things is to fall in love with me

I know of your regret and your shattered past
your hopeless feelings that I promise won't last
save your self from this loveless pitch filled life
come into the light and leave your world of strife

see the goodness that you have locked inside
you have a home of love to which you can abide
you don't have to feel shame or sadness alone
seek out a true family and just come home

your loved ones miss you and need you here
to hug you and hold you and to keep you near
we know the true you the one that cries
with each bad choice that purity dies

stand up and choose to make a change
stop your hurt and just quit the game
that past is gone and the present is here
when i am holding you the future is near

i feel as though my words fall into the abyss
lost in the moment and gone in the mist
oh how lost i feel when your smile is gone
trapped in my own sorrow no comfort from song

i miss you and love you and will till the end
know this forever that i will be your friend
please open your eyes so that you might see
walk away from the pain and take a chance on me
