Second Chance by Shinedown:

My eyes are open wide...
And by the way...
I made it through the day...
I watched the world outside...
By the way
I'm leaving out today...

It was at this point that some of the other students opened the door to her compartment. She didn't hear them as they watched her, the first of whom were the three boys she had called fools earlier. They were drawn in by the tone of sadness in her sweet-sounding voice.

I just saw Hayley's comet, she waved...

Said Why are you always running in place? Even the man in the moon disappeared...

Somewhere in the stratosphere! 

She sang as she pushed herself away from the window with a small smile.

Tell my mother...

Tell my father... 

I've done the best I can... 

To make them realize...

This is my life...

I hope they understand...

She sang that last bit while thinking of the Greens' sad expressions as she left home and frowned.

I'm not angry, I'm just saying...

Sometimes goodbye is a second chance...

Please don't cry one tear for me...

I'm not afraid...

Of what I have to say...

It was now that she opened her eyes and saw that people were watching her, but she didn't care much and to their astonishment, she continued. 

This is my one and only voice, so listen close...

It's only for today...

I just saw Hayley's comet, she waved...

Said why are you always running in place?

She sang that last bit with a sad smile on her face.

Even the man in the moon disappeared...

Somewhere in the stratosphere...

Tell my mother...

Tell my father...

I've done the best I can...

Her face then took on a blank stare as her next words took on a numb feeling tone. 

To make them realize...

This is my life...
