I built my fences too high
Had nowhere to go
No one could get inside
And I was aloneI dug my trenches too deep
I couldn't see the sky
And then a bullet hit me
And I came aliveOoh, 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 timeAnd now I see what I've been missing
All this time I took second guessing
Now I need to take a chance on meI 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, yeahOoh, 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 timeOh, and now I see what I've been missing
All this time I took second guessing
Now I need to take a chance on meNo man is an island
No point in acting tough
We all need someone to make us smile
To make us cry, to make us loveI wanna let you in
I've kept you on the outside
Such a very long timeOoh, 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 timeAnd 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
