Chances are that you've had too many chances already.
Chances are that is what is wrong with your life now.
No! I won't give you another chance to do me wrong again.

I will wait on someone that will treat me right.
Chances are that I will never find that someone.

Forgiveness is in order. Forgive the heart for wanting more, forgive the breaker for wanting to break. Forgive yourself for wanting what the heart wants. Take a chance on yourself, that all things new are just around the corner with new wants in a well mended heart.
