Let You In
Let's just take this slow, let's just think this through
How can you trust someone when they can't trust you?
I learned that lesson and I learned it well
So sorry if I don't fall under your spell
Want to be with me, want to hold my hand
But I've been through things that you'll never understand
Truth be told, I don't know myself
I'm not some book you can read straight from off the shelf
I smile outside but I'm cold within
Hide my sadness beneath a Cheshire cat grin
You think I'm brave, but I'm far from fine
I lay a little story, but I haven't got the time
'Cause I can't let you in
I can't let you in my mind
I'm too afraid of what you'll find
And I can't let you in my head
To see the things I'd left unsaid
Once I let you in, there is no getting out
Once I let you in, there is no getting, getting out, out
Once I let you in, there is no getting out
Once I let you in, there is no getting, getting out, out
Once I let you in, there is no getting out
Once I let you in, there is no getting out
Once I let you in, there is no getting out
Once I let you in, there is no getting, getting out, out
I've lost my mind, I've cried everyday
Does it make you a bad person if you need to run away?
I fell apart, pulled myself back up
With a little bit of help and a whole lot of luck
I'm not quite fixed, though I have thick skin
There are still some things if I now weigh in
I build strong walls to hide behind
But they can't hide the fact that the world isn't kind
I have reached out, and I've been shut down
Wanted holes to open up, swallow me into the ground
I thought they were different, thought they were unique
Turns out I was interchangeable with girls who look like me
But I'm not a maid and you need to come and say it
Not a problem to prefix, not your accolade
I just need time, I just need space
'Cause no one ever told you that life isn't a race
'Cause I can't let you in
I can't let you in my mind
I'm too afraid of what you'll find
And I can't let you in my head
To see the things I'd left unsaid
And I can't let you in my dreams
You might just spoil them with your schemes
No, I can't let you in my head
To see the dreams that are now dead
How can you trust someone when they can't trust you?
I learned that lesson and I learned it well
So sorry if I don't fall under your spell
Want to be with me, want to hold my hand
But I've been through things that you'll never understand
Truth be told, I don't know myself
I'm not some book you can read straight from off the shelf
I smile outside but I'm cold within
Hide my sadness beneath a Cheshire cat grin
You think I'm brave, but I'm far from fine
I lay a little story, but I haven't got the time
'Cause I can't let you in
I can't let you in my mind
I'm too afraid of what you'll find
And I can't let you in my head
To see the things I'd left unsaid
Once I let you in, there is no getting out
Once I let you in, there is no getting, getting out, out
Once I let you in, there is no getting out
Once I let you in, there is no getting, getting out, out
Once I let you in, there is no getting out
Once I let you in, there is no getting out
Once I let you in, there is no getting out
Once I let you in, there is no getting, getting out, out
I've lost my mind, I've cried everyday
Does it make you a bad person if you need to run away?
I fell apart, pulled myself back up
With a little bit of help and a whole lot of luck

And I can't let you in my dreams
You might just spoil them with your schemes
No, I can't let you in my head
To see the dreams that are now dead
