[Verse 1]
You keep your cards face down
I see the crack in your crown
You laugh like nothing gets in
But your eyes keep giving you out
I know that look too well
I wore that armor myself
Said I was fine, said I was good
Till I hit the floor and fell
[Pre-Chorus]
So don't lock it up
Don't bite your tongue
I can wait right here
Till the fear comes undone
One small step
One small truth
Baby, if you break a little
I can meet you too
[Chorus]
Let me in, let me in (let me in)
I can love the locked-up parts
Let me in, let me in (let me in)
We don't heal by staying hard
Drop the wall, drop the wall
You don't have to stand alone
Let me in, let me in
I'm on your side, come home
[Verse 2]
You hide the hurt in your jokes
Then change the subject and ghost
But I can see what you mean
When your silence starts to overflow
You don't need perfect words
Just the real ones, rough and burned
I won't flinch when it hurts
I won't turn when it burns
[Pre-Chorus]
So don't lock it up
Don't bite your tongue
I can wait right here
Till the fear comes undone
One small step
One small truth
Baby, if you break a little
I can meet you too
[Chorus]
Let me in, let me in (let me in)
I can love the locked-up parts
Let me in, let me in (let me in)
We don't heal by staying hard
Drop the wall, drop the wall
You don't have to stand alone
Let me in, let me in
I'm on your side, come home
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
If you shake, I won't run
If you cry, I won't judge
All those locks on your heart
Ain't stronger than my love
Say my name
Open slow
Baby, I can hold the pieces
Till you let them show
[Final Chorus]
Let me in, let me in (let me in)
I can love the locked-up parts
Let me in, let me in (let me in)
We don't heal by staying hard
Drop the wall, drop the wall
You don't have to stand alone
Let me in, let me in
I'm on your side, come home
