Odds are not in my Favor

*Odds Are Not In My Favor* A long time I've been holding on, Thinking of you after all these years gone. I wrote this down, wasn't sure what to say — Not sure these words will matter anyway. It's been years since you walked away, Still half-hoping things might go a different way. They tell me these are words I shouldn't say, But I don't care, I'm not walking away. *Chorus* I'm gonna put these words down on paper, Even though the odds are not in my favor. Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm wrong, But some hearts keep holding on. So I'll write what I've been too afraid to say, Even if these words just blow away. I'm gonna put these words down on paper, Even though the odds are not in my favor. I see you happy as can be, Seems like you're doing better without me. I hear you're still somewhere around the neighborhood — And I guess that's good, I guess that's good. Drove by your house the other day, Then I turned around and went the other way. Some things are better left alone, Some roads are better walked alone. *Chorus* Went back to that bar where we used to meet, Almost walked inside, then I stopped in the street. Sat there thinking over all we had, And all that remembering just made me sad. Almost picked up the phone to call, Figured you wouldn't answer at all. So I won't keep chasing yesterday, I'll write these words and let them stay. *Final Chorus* I'm gonna put these words down on paper, Even though the odds are not in my favor. Maybe miracles don't happen anymore, Maybe love don't come knocking at my door. But if these words ever find you someday, Just know I never stopped feeling this way. I'm gonna put these words down on paper, Even though the odds are not in my favor.
