Let You In (feat. Ellen Rose)

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
