I Took My Chances

You said: love is the saving grace
A sacred place
For the pure of heart.
My heart, never convinced of love
Said me and you
Were playing a part.
And I guess that leaves me losing (by default)
I guess that leaves me losing.

You said: love is an act of faith
A choice we make
Not left to chance.
My faith, never as strong as yours
Closed every door
On this romance.
And I guess that leaves love wasted (again)
I guess that leaves us wasted.

But I took my chances without you
I took my chances without you.

Who knows whether the road was right or wrong
Cos knowing it all along
Isn’t how this works.
I don’t trust stories that might come true
Didn’t believe in you
And that’s worse.

So I took my chances without you,
I took my chances without you,
I took our chances.
