Not Even a First

[Chorus] I just wanted a shot to make my case, To show off my moves before I'm erased. But how can I shine if you won’t see me dance? Let alone second, not even a first chance. [Verse 1] She's charming, so cute, caught my eye for sure, I thought she's pretty, full of energy But I held back my feelings, way too far, Realized too late, now here we are. [Verse 2] How do you love someone in another's arms Cause you drew your gun out just a tad too late? So here I am, with heart thumping hard Losing my blood and bleeding out fast [Chorus] I just wanted a shot to make my case, To show off my moves before I'm erased. But how can I shine if you won’t see me dance? Let alone second, not even a first chance. [Verse 3] She's out there smiling, oceans away, so free, While I'm here, pennies pinching, even McDonald's a luxury. Another job says no, my resume too light, “No experience,” they say, as I face another night. [Verse 4] Wasn’t my choice, that last place was a mess, Just busy work, no real chance to impress. I know I can handle any task they set, But without a stage to show, their “no” is all I get. [Chorus] I just wanted a shot to make my case, To show off my moves before I'm erased. But how can I shine if you won’t see me dance? Let alone second, not even a first chance. [Verse 5] Rejected, not 'cause skills in us aren't found, But 'cause the stage to prove ourselves just isn't around. If I cross paths with another, standing where I've been, I'll give them the shot the world have never given
