Second Chance - Live from Washington State Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My eyes are open wide
By the way, I made it through the day
I watched the world outside
By the way, I'm leaving out today
Sing it with me

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I just saw Halley's comet, she waved
Said, "Why you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

[Chorus]
Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize, this is my life
I hope they understand

[Post-Chorus]
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

[Verse 2]
Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today
[Pre-Chorus]
I just saw Halley's comet, she waved
Said, "Why you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared, ready go
Somewhere in the stratosphere

[Chorus]
Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize, this is my life
I hope they understand

[Post-Chorus]
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

[Bridge]
Here's my chance
This is, this is my chance

[Chorus]
Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize, this is my life
I hope they understand
[Post-Chorus]
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance, come on

[Outro]
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

[Spoken Outro]
Thank you
Thank you to everyone, thanks for coming
We're Shinedown, thanks so, so much
Be good, be good to each other, God bless you all
It's been an absolute pleasure, thank you so, so much
Remember it's never goodbye, it's just 'til next time
Good health and good fortune to your families
I will see you again real soon
Later

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
