I just want a shot,
A little chance, a break,
Or maybe just to see the ones I get
To stop making those mistakes.

It seems I can't make it,
What goes well - ends badly,
I lay a finger - and it breaks,
Especially if it's important to me.

Every thing's slipping right through my fingers,
I can't seem to catch what's thrown to me,
Every ball passed hits me in the face,
It's my fault, I wreck every thing I see.

To get up after I fall, to rise from my ruins,
I've lost all my strength, I can't "run and hide",
But just this once, this one more try,
I want lady luck to be on my side
