Take the Risk and Try

Desperate and so confused I reached out and asked you Is this gonna work? Do you think it’s gonna work? You had no answer, so unsure yourself And I couldn’t tell you how I felt In that moment if you asked me to Oh, not even if you asked me to I figured you’re the veteran, I’d lean on you And you could teach me what to do But you’re jagged, edges ragged Just like me And you couldn’t tell me how this’d be Everyone’s different, you said Everyone’s different We might not be perfect But we’ll never know if this was worth it Unless we take the risk and try See if this love can survive Oh, let’s take the risk And try I’ll be honest, I’m scared The game of love doesn’t allow time to prepare And I’m worried that this isn’t gonna turn out fair For you or me After this could we truly go back to what we used to be I don’t wanna lose you I don’t wanna lose it all You say we’re tight And no matter what we’ll be alright But I saw what happened with you and her And I can’t help but wonder if you’re sure I’ll try to trust and just believe That some good might come of me and you It’s a risk worth taking if there’s nothing to lose If there’s nothing to lose We might not be perfect But we’ll never know if this was worth it Unless we take the risk and try See if this love can survive Oh, let’s take the risk And try We might not be perfect But we’ll never know if this was worth it Unless we take the risk and try See if this love can survive Oh, let’s take the risk And try
