Lyrics

Let You In

When I think back on that night
Now I know what I see isn't right
That burning kiss in the doorway

Instead of just learning the truth
I shut my heart off to you
And I been learning the hard way
It was all a mistake

You don't know
I betrayed you
It's gonna hurt if I let you in
What we had
I still need it
But I don't think I can let you in
We're gonna need to let it all go
We're gonna need to let it all go

The only thing that I could do
Was to get back at you
And open myself to another

And now that I've found out the truth
That man I saw wasn't you
And we may never recover
And we may never recover

You don't know
I betrayed you
It's gonna hurt if I let you in
What we had
I still need it
But I don't think I can let you in
I was wrong and I know what I did and I know that it can't be undone
If I was strong but I love you too much to tell what I've done
Baby come on
Please tell me
Tell me it doesn't matter what I've done
Now I know that we were never meant to say goodbye

You don't know
I betrayed you
It's gonna hurt if I let you in
If I should tell you
How could you forgive me, there's no way
We're gonna need to let it all go
We're gonna need to let it all go
Will it hurt if I let you in
I know I should let you in
Don't let me let you in
We're gonna need to let it all go
