Youre still going to have to take responsibility for your actions.

Youre still going to have to make things up to me.

These second chances arent eternal.

If you hurt me again, Im gone.

If you screw with me, its over.

Im giving you another chance but that doesnt mean everything is cool between us.

It doesnt mean our relationship is going to return to exactly the way it was before you hurt me.

If you want the truth, our relationship is never going to be the same.

Im going to be cautious of you moving forward.

Im going to be suspicious.

Im not going to trust you the same way I used to trust you.

Im not going to look at you the same way either.

At this point, you cant blame me for being skittish.

You cant blame me for booking it if you hurt me again, even a smidge.

Im not magically going to forget what youve done.

The hurtful words youve said are lodged in my mind.

The bad memories are just as strong as the good ones.

It doesnt mean theyve stopped taunting me late at night, making me feel inferior and inadequate.

It doesnt mean what youve done was okay after all.

Even though Im sticking around, I want you to remember you really screwed up.

You really hurt me.

You really left a scar.

Im giving you another chance but that doesnt mean were going to live happily ever after.

I cant promise Im completely over it, completely fine, because Im not.

Im giving you another chance so kindly dont waste it.

like dont make me feel like an idiot for trusting you again.

yo treat me right this time around because youre not going to get a third chance.
