Lyrics
I Let Him In
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He says, you will never know
There are no rhymes to do you justice."
And he will sit there, outside,
Until you no longer doubt his purpose.
So, I let him in.
I opened the door, and let him in.
Yah...I let him in. Opened my heart...
Some wounds will never heal
Loneliness becomes an expectation.
But you stretched there by my side
And you whisper those foolish incantations.
So, I let her in
A crooked smile and I let her in
Opened the door, she walked right in
I opened my heart...
It came to me wrapped like a gift in a dream,
But then the dream disappeared
And the gift went too
And ever since I've been searching
For me and you
Ever since I've been searching for you
He said, "you will never know
There are no rhymes to do you justice."
And he will sit there by your side
Until you no longer doubt his purpose.
So, she let me in
She opened the door, I walked right in
Yah...she let me in.
Yes, she let me in
She opened the door, I walked right in.
Yah...she let me in. Opened her heart...
