You might get burned if you're playing with fire
You might fall walking on the high wire
But danger makes the heart grow fonder
You gotta give a little more than you're giving
I gotta get a little better at forgiving
Don't say it if your heart's not in it
It's a risk we have to take
And it's okay to be afraid
'Cause these are dangerous words we speak
And are you ready for all that they mean
We can't go back if we tried
You unopen our eyes
These are dangerous words
'Cause these are dangerous words
So are you ready for the fight that you're picking
Are you ready for the kind of commitment
Are you ready for some heavier lifting
It's like riding on the back a motorcycle
A blindfolded pointed rifle
Closed eyes, open full survival
It's a risk we have to take
'Cause I kinda like feeling afraid
'Cause these are dangerous words we speak
And are you ready for all that they mean
We can't go back if we tried
You unopen our eyes
These are dangerous words
'Cause these are dangerous words
So I'll let my heart speak for me
And if you listen closely, it's more than enough
So I'll let my heart speak for me
And if you listen closely, it's more than enough
'Cause these are dangerous words we speak
And are you ready for all that they mean
'Cause these are dangerous words we speak
And are you ready for all that they mean
We can't go back if we tried
You unopen our eyes
These are dangerous words
'Cause these are dangerous words
