Let You In

I built these walls long before you met me
I don't see now what would possess me
to let you in
to let you in

I feel so high when I'm around you
ah, but what would it all come down to
if I let you in
if I let you in

I have scorned love a thousand times
I've said that it's all just a sham
I have fought you with all my might
ah, but love is so much stronger than I am...

but if I let you in, all these walls will tumble
if I let you in, my fortress will crumble
if I let you in, my whole world may fall apart
if I let you in my heart…

I sealed this door long before you met me
I don't see why you should expect me
to let you in
to let you in

I wanna give you all this love I've found
but I'm so afraid that you'll let me down
if I let you in
if I let you in

I have closed my heart down so tight
I've worked so damn hard not to care
I have closed my eyes to the light
but in the darkness, I still feel you there

but if I let you in, all these walls will tumble
if I let you in, my fortress will crumble
if I let you in, my whole world may fall apart
if I let you in my heart…
