Chance

If I had my chance I'd do it all over again

If I had my chance I'd do it all over again

Been treated badly, been abused

Been suicidal and confused

But if I had my chance I'd do it all over again

I was seventeen when I made my way to the smoke

I was seventeen, I was homeless, hungry and broke

I hustled subways for a bite

And crashed in the cardboard city at night

But if I had my chance I'd do it all over again

I asked for change and you smiled, the day that we met

I asked for change, you offered me food and a bed

You gave me back my selfrespect

Yeah, loving you's one thing I'll never regret

And if I had my chance I'd do it all over again

You weren't cute but you knew what I wanted to do

You weren't cute but you knew what I wanted from you

Where you took me I'd never been

Or dreamed of in my wildest dreams

And if I had my chance I'd do it all over again

Since you've been gone I can't sleep easy at night

I've got this cough and I can't sleep easy at night

The friends we had are gone and dead

But you're one friend I can never forget

And if I had my chance I'd do it all over again
