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
