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 couldnt 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
Ive kept you on the outside
Such a very long time
But now I see what Ive been missin
All this time Ive took second guessin
Now i need…
to take a chance on me
I didnt wanna be tied down
But now I see
Not being tied down
Aint 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
Ive 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
Ive kept you on the outside
Such a very long, long time
And now I see what Ive been missin
All this time Ive took second guessin
Now I see what Ive been missin
All this time Ive took second guessin
Now I see
All I need
To take a chance on me.
