I know you’re torn, not sure how to make
This difficult decision
But could it be you’re making it too hard?
The Ifs, the Buts, the Could it Be’s
Your silly premonitions
Are keeping you from letting down your guard
The barriers and walls you see
Are only in your mind
It’s just the way that you protect your heart
They don’t have much to do with me
Or maybe I’m just blind
But I don’t wanna think ahead that far
To risk the hurt,
To risk the pain
Whatever comes,
The truth remains
That you and I are happy present tense
To throw away
What this could be
Based on a possibility
That it might end
Just doesn’t make much sense
Just give me a chance
I won’t break your heart
I won’t run away
If you give me a chance
We can make a start
If you just say yes today
Just give it a chance
Don’t worry ‘bout the after, just focus on today
It’ll all work out just how it’s meant to be
The kisses and the laughter will wash your doubts away
And I hope that one day you will finally see
The risk it takes
Is worth it all
You can’t rise up
If you never fall
We both know what it’s like to be let down
So face the fear
Remove all doubt
We’ll never know if we don’t try it out
Don’t lose your trust in what we both have found
Can you give me a chance?
Put your trust in me
I will make it worth it
Just give it a chance
This could be so good
And you know we both deserve it
So give it a chance
