Let It In

Verse 1

Morning breaks and light comes crawling

Through the spaces in my mind

Every voice outside keeps calling

But I turn and hide behind

Empty laughter fills the hallway

Never seems to touch my soul

I pretend that I’m unshaken

While I carry all this load

Pre-Chorus

There's a longing I keep hidden

Where the sunlight never goes

Yearning for a simple kindness

That maybe only they could know

Chorus

Walking through a room so crowded

Yet I feel so far away

Walls I built around my heart

Keeping all the world at bay

Love is knocking, soft and gentle

But I keep it on the shelf

They're reaching out with trembling hands

Wanting more than just themselves

Post-Chorus

Let it in, let it in

Open up, let it begin

Verse 2

See the worry in their faces

Trying hard to ease my pain

But the silence I keep frozen

Draws a line they can’t explain

Afraid to say it with their voices

But it’s written in their eyes

All the hope and all the caring

Waiting there, side by side

Pre-Chorus

Every time I hide away, I know

I leave them longing for the way

To give me what they hold inside

It’s the best love they can show

Chorus

Walking through a room so crowded

Yet I feel so far away

Walls I built around my heart

Keeping all the world at bay

Love is knocking, soft and gentle

But I keep it on the shelf

They're reaching out with trembling hands

Wanting more than just themselves

Post-Chorus

Let it in, let it in

Open up, let it begin

Bridge

In the quiet I remember

How their arms would once surround

All the words I left unspoken

Echo softer now, but sound

There's a comfort in their letting

Even awkward, even shy

If I give a little back

Maybe healing is nearby

Chorus

Walking through a room so crowded

Yet I feel so far away

Walls I built around my heart

Keeping all the world at bay

Love is knocking, soft and gentle

But I keep it on the shelf

They're reaching out with trembling hands

Wanting more than just themselves

Post-Chorus

Let it in, let it in

Open up, let it begin

Outro

One day I’ll say I need you

And watch my shadows fall

Every lonely ache inside me

Softened by giving at all

Hands outstretched, I see them

Braver than I’ve ever been

If I let myself be open

Maybe loneliness won’t win
