Let Me In

Pre-Chorus

I'm,

getting ready to lose you,

Im,

Still telling myself I don't need to.

Funny how the heart knows the truth.

But the mind keeps finding reasons to keep you.

I,

Remember your doorstep, me outside in the rain,

Didn't know what I was walking into,

Now I can't walk away from the pain.

You,

let me stand there like I had somewhere else to go,

Chorus

I was waiting on you to let me in,

You were teaching me how to be alone.

Letting you go was the fear I couldn't face,

Now I'm holding on to memories

Like they might take your place.

Guess I loved you for tomorrow

While you were leaving me today.

Bridge

Would you love me if I held you through the night?

Would you choose me if I wasn't always right?

Would you stay if I stopped trying to make it right?

Would you love me if I gave you my whole life?

Or did I give you all I had?

Verse 1

I was only tryna keep you close,

Was my love too much, or did you give too little?

I kept pouring out my heart,

You kept leaving with the middle.

I wanted you beside me,

Now your side of the bed feels different.

You'd whisper that you loved me,

I'd never have to ask you.

I wanted more than words,

I wanted something I could feel.

You made forever sound so good,

I forgot to ask if it was real.

Verse 2

Couldn't sleep, kept rehearsing conversations,

Finding different ways to say I'm sorry,

Like the right words could reverse the situation.

I know I said some things I can't erase,

Pride had me talking like I didn't care,

When I was terrified you'd walk away.

Your love had me hypnotized,

I saw the signs but kept on closing my eyes.

I was reading between the lines,

You were changing what was written every time.

And you left me in the cold on our anniversary,

A date that meant forever turned to something that just hurt me.

Funny how the day we made a memory

Became the one that showed me what we couldn't be.

I keep thinking 'bout the chances that we wasted,

All the little things I wish I'd done differently.

But I can't take the blame for every vacant space

I know I wasn't perfect, I got things I should've changed,

But an apology can't fix a heart

That only one of us was trying to save.

I was fighting for the future,

You were fighting to feel free.

Maybe we both wanted love,

Just not what love required us to be.

Bridge

I hated how you never asked me to stay,

Like losing me wouldn't change your day.

I thought my heart was bulletproof,

You knew exactly where to aim.

Final Chorus

I was only tryna keep you close,

Was my love too much, or did you give too little?

I kept pouring out my heart,

You kept leaving with the middle.

I wanted you beside me,

Now your side of the bed feels different.

You'd whisper that you loved me,

I'd never have to ask you.

I wanted more than words,

I wanted something I could feel.

You made forever sound so good,

I forgot to ask if it was real.

Outro

I gave you all my tomorrows,

You couldn't give me tonight.

Now I'm learning how to let you go

Without pretending I'm alright.
