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

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.
