Strike a Chord

You strike a certain chord in the thick of me

And i'm terrified in seeing how it rings and it carries

You know it's been such a long time since i felt one inside

Call me too reserved

Cuz my armor's on

Why should i open a pandora's box of rude complications?

The risk is too high for one more right gone wrong

Cuz love is a very strong and sacred thing

And you can't stop it when you want to

Even as bruises start to show

And true, taking chances gets you halfway there

But i'm not ready yet

My heart's too tattered and bent

And i move too slow

You strike a certain chord in the thick of me

And i'm too aware it's ringing out in you as within me

I know you've had such a hard time to get me by your side

But i've heard this song before in a different key

And i fear we might be singing out too late or too early

To set the stage for one more right gone wrong

Cuz love is a very strong and sacred thing

But when he went without a warning

My heart alone did take the blow

So i will trace my musings with this simple tune

And until then, i'm content

Biding time on the fence in the woods i know

So please forgive me if i seem half there

I can't halt those old emotions

Even though that chapter has closed

But i see the honesty that shines in you

And i'm impressed that i've found that you're still hanging around

And i'm surprised at the sounds coming out of my mouth

When i say:

Okay, lets give it a go
