"Second Chances" - an original song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGCe3oaUy2c
“Second Chances” (David Pennybaker) You hung out with the wrong crowd / From an early age I never understood / Those dangerous games you played I tried to warn you / I tried to steer you right You wouldn’t listen / Your dusk turned into night In your darkest hour / You thought your life was through It could’ve been someone else / Why’d it have to be you? Why’d it have to be you? / It just don’t seem fair Why’d it have to be you? / Why do I even care? You ran out of second chances / Doing the best you could do It could’ve been someone else / Why’d it have to be you? After some time away / I hoped you might change Why that was so hard to do / You never could explain You must have thought / You were a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde Your friends all turned on you / There was nowhere left to hide You knew it was over / There was nothing left to do It could’ve been someone else / Why’d it have to be you? Why’d it have to be you? / It just don’t seem fair Why’d it have to be you? / Why do I even care? You ran out of second chances / Doing the best you could do It could’ve been someone else / Why’d it have to be you? You’ve been running all your life / Your demons finally caught up with you Without you here / What am I supposed to do? Why’d it have to be you? / It just don’t seem fair Why’d it have to be you? / Why do I even care? You ran out of second chances / Doing the best you could do It could’ve been someone else / Why’d it have to be you? Oh, it could’ve been someone else / So why’d it have to be you?

Thanks for sharing. Hope that's not about a personal relation of yours.

Quote:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIeIk_VPlYA The hook for "Second Chances" ("Why'd it have to be you?") literally just popped into my head two weeks ago while I was having my hair cut. And the line "You ran out of second chances, your demons finally caught up with you" came to me as I woke up the next morning. Though that line eventually got broken into parts of two separate lines (one in the chorus, one in the bridge). I tried very hard NOT to make this song about Kylie. I originally wrote the verses to describe something (completely made up) somewhat specific . . about somebody who was in trouble with the law, just so it wouldn't be about her. But then I went back and tried to strip anything specific out of the lyrics so that the listener could fill in his own story.
