Take a Chance Lyrics

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
And I came alive

[Chorus:]
Ooh, 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

And now I see
What I've been missing
All this time
I took second guessing
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
Oh you set me free yeah
[Chorus:]
Ooh, 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

And now I see
What I've been missing
All this time
I took second guessing
Now I need
To take a chance on me

No man is an island
No point in acting tall
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

[Chorus:]
Ooh, I finally found a way (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 missing
All this time
I took second guessing
Now I see
What I've been missing
All this time
I took second guessing
Now I see
All I need
To take a chance on me
