Love Is Worth the Risk
Verse I
You’re out of time and down on luck.
You say you’d rather self-destruct.
Then spend one minute in this pain.
Cold and lonely under the rain.
Chorus
It may seem pretty in dreams, but real love is nicked and bruised.
It comes crashing and frightening, like a bolt of lightning.
And only fate decides whom to choose.
So, I must insist if you want to get the most out of love.
Don’t let yourself resist when it reaches out to hold you close.
Because love is worth the risk.
Verse II
It’s been so long since the start.
You managed to close your heart.
But it would help if you remembered.
That the world reward for those who wait.
And even though you think that you’re too old for love.
It’s never too late to take another risk.
Chorus
It may seem pretty in dreams, but real love is nicked and bruised,
It comes crashing and frightening, like a bolt of lightning.
And only fate decides whom to choose.
So, I must insist if you want to get the most out of love.
Don’t let yourself resist if it reaches out to hold you close.
Because love is worth the risk.
Verse III
You can place your bet and roll the dice.
But love survives on the sacrifice.
It is more than just another old game.
You may have won the heart, but you must feed the flame.
Bridge
So, tell me how do you feel?
Can we put aside our differences and start to let the wounds heal?
I know that you have your past, and I have mine.
But all we need is just a little bit of time.
Yes, just a little bit of time, a little bit of time.
