Take A Chance

I built my fences too high

Had nowhere to go

No one could get inside

I was alone

I dug my trenches too deep

I couldn't see the sky

And then a bullet hit me

Then I came alive

Oo I finally found a way

To open up and say

I wanna let you in

I've kept you on the outside

Such a very long time

But now I see what I've been missin'

All this time I've took second guessin'

Now I need

To take a chance on me

I didn't wanna be tied down

But now I see

Not being tied down

Ain't the same as being free

Ooo you set me free

Oo I finally found a way

To open up and say

I wanna let you in

I've kept you on the outside

Such a very long time

But now I see what I've been missin

All this time I've took second guessin'

Now I need

To take a chance on me

No man is an island

No point in acting tough

We all need someone to make us smile

To make us cry

To make us love

I wanna let you in

I've kept you on the outside

Such a very long time

Oo I finally found a way

To open up and say

I wanna let you in

I've kept you on the outside

Such a very long long time

And now I see what I've been missin'

All this time I've took second guessin'

Now I see what I've been missin'

All this time I've took second guessin'

Now I see

All I need

To take a chance on me
