Ellery my only chance

Please, don't say a word
Still, don't make a sound
Gentle, I am barely here
Trust comes slow for me
Not my deep regret
Maybe you would rather leave
Don't close your eyes
They always do, they walk away
I need to know
I haven't lost my only chance
(To be the person I wanted to be)
I have never been
One to ask too much
Tell me if it's getting late
Every day is new
But I feel the same
Still defined by who I've been
Don't close your eyes
They always do, they walk away
I need to know
I haven't lost my only chance
(To be the person I wanted to be)
So, you've heard it now
This, the song I sing
Underneath the face that smiles back
And says hello
And wonders if you'll ever see much more
Don't close your eyes
They always do, they walk away
I need to know
I haven't lost my only chance
(To be the person I wanted to be)
