by Billy Simon, Justin Peters

I could try to call

I know the number well--it used to be mine

You've probably changed it by now

But it's worth a try

'Cause every passing hour leaves a trail of hope

That I can follow on

And if there's a chance of love, forever's not too long

CHORUS:

I'm just a passing thought in the back of your mind

A dime a dozen heart, hardly worth your time

But by a thread of hope I keep hangin' on

And I may be signing my own sorrow license

As I hope for the day fate will twist

And I can take you home

It's a sad, sad circumstance

But the hurt is worth the chance

The hurt is worth the chance

I don't see why you can't believe

I was meant for you, you were made for me

A picture perfect love, anyone can see

I've got it figured out

I can see it know

The way it ought to be

But once again I'm faced with reality

No more you and me

(REPEAT CHORUS)

I hope the hurt is worth the chance
