First there's a pain I try to repress
All but drained from my head to my chest
It nearly killed me, mmm
Next phase was heavy with helplessness
Lead in my legs, I kept blaming myself
I thought of quitting
I thought of giving up on love forever
I'd have to be insane to risk that pain again
Oh, I must be insane
'Cause even after heartbreak, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you
Even with these high stakes, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, take a chance on you
Even if I wind up back in the hard place
Even if it burns fast or slow fade, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you
Walking down the street, I see an old woman
A teenage boy and only understand they felt this feeling too
In a stranger's eyes, disappointment and hurt
Knee-deep in guilt of not making it work
Everybody thinks of quitting
They think of giving up on love forever
I'd have to be insane to risk that pain again
Oh, I must be insane
'Cause even after heartbreak, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you
Even with these high stakes, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, take a chance on you
Even if I wind up back in the hard place
Even if it burns fast or slow fade, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you
Let the pain now fade, slow fade
Let the pain now fade, slow fade
Even after heartbreak, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you
Even with these high stakes, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, take a chance on you
Even if I wind up back in the hard place
Even if it burns fast or slow fade, I'm still willing
To take a chance on you, to take a chance on you
