I used to smile
And I used to dream
I had high hopes
About the man that I could be
I fell in the river
And I got pulled down
But I'll keep my head up
The second time around
I had good intentions
But I lost my way
If I ever saw a blue sky
I turned it grey
I rode my luck and my luck ran out
So I'm gonna do it different
The second time around
Ooh I'm not letting you down
Ooh I'm not letting you down
The second time around
Sometimes forgiveness
Is hard to find
My pain and misery
Don't wanna be left behind
Their sombre singing
Is a constant sound
But I'll keep on trying
The second time around
Ooh I'm not letting you down
Ooh I'm not letting you down
The second time around
