A Chance
AS I LOOK AT YOU FROM ACROSS THE ROOM
MY HEART BEATS FAST AND I KNOW IM DOOMED
NO MATTER WHAT MY MIND SAYS IT HAS ALREADY LOST
MY HEART NOW LEADS NO MATTER WHAT THE COST
I OPEN MYSELF UP TO HERT AND PAIN
TO CARE SO FAST IS SURELY INSANE
BUT NO MATTER WHAT I HAVE TO PUT ON THE LINE
MY HEART MUST REMAIN OPEN ONE LAST TIME
SEE IT BETTER TO LOVE AND TAKE THE CHANCE
THEN TO BE CLOSED,ALONE,AND WITHOUT ROMANCE
I WAS BLIND TO THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE
AN IMPRISONED FEELING OF DOING WHATS RIGHT
THINKING ONLY OF OTHERS AND NEVER OF ME
MADE ME LONELY AND BITTER AND HOPELESS INDEED
TO TAKE A CHANCE AND TRY TO CARE AGAIN
ITS SCARY AS HELL AND MIGHT HURT IN THE END
BUT IT IS BETTER TO TRY AND HAVE FUN ALONG THE WAY
AT THE RISK OF BEING HURT AT THE END OF THE DAY
YOU SEE LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS AS YOUR MAKEING OTHER PLANS
SO REMEMBER THAT LOVE AND RISK GO HAND IN HAND.
