Strike A Chord Lyrics

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 sideCharlene Kaye - Strike A Chord - http://motolyrics.com/charlene-kaye/strike-a-chord-lyrics.html
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, let's give it a go.
