<br>Verse 1:
<br>I built my fences too high
<br>Had nowhere to go
<br>No one could get inside
<br>I was alone
<br>
<br>I dug my trenches too deep
<br>I couldn´t see the sky
<br>And then a bullet hit me
<br>Then I came alive
<br>
<br>Oo I finally found a way
<br>To open up and say
<br>I wanna let you in
<br>I´ve kept you on the outside
<br>Such a very long time
<br>
<br>But now I see what I´ve been missin´
<br>All this time I´ve took second guessin´
<br>Now I need... 
<br>To take a chance on me
<br>
<br>Verse 2:
<br>I didn´t wanna be tied down
<br>But now I see
<br>Not being tied down
<br>Ain´t the same as being free
<br>Ooo you set me free
<br>
<br>Oo I finally found a way
<br>To open up and say
<br>I wanna let you in
<br>I´ve kept you on the outside
<br>Such a very long time
<br>
<br>Refrain:
<br>No man is an island
<br>No point in acting tough
<br>We all need someone to make us smile
<br>To make us cry
<br>To make us love! 
<br>
<br>I wanna let you in
<br>I´ve kept you on the outside
<br>Such a very long time
<br>
<br>Oo I finally found a way
<br>To open up and say
<br>I wanna let you in
<br>I´ve kept you on the outside
<br>Such a very long long time
<br>
<br>And now I see what I´ve been missin´
<br>All this time I´ve took second guessin´
<br>Now I see what I´ve been missin´
<br>All this time I´ve took second guessin´
<br>Now I see
<br>All I need
<br>To take a chance on me.<br><!-- stopprint -->
