Cover art for Second Chances lyrics by Imagine Dragons

This song is about someone who messed up, maybe in a relationship and maybe not, but they want a second chance to make up for what they did. They're saying, "I believe in second chances, so can you please give me one?" The lines, "I will not break you, I will not let you down," tend to suggest that it is a relationship and that they accidentally did something that made the other person upset and want to leave them. But the narrator just wants to make up for it. The line, "I get older and life fades but you remain," suggests that the narrator has spent time away from the other person and yet that person hasn't yet disappeared from their life. In general, I think it's a beautiful and soft song about someone who wants redemption for a mistake and really just wants someone else back in their life.
