Got offered a chance to leave,

Leave this life,
Got a chance to start over
Make something of myself,

But this dismal life,

Is all I know,

All I have, I have built,

Those I know, are here

Missed a chance to leave,

A chance to venture

A chance to live my hopes abroad,

Missed a chance to do what I love,

Because I was too frightened

Of what I have now.
