Your eyes
They cut through the night like fire
Light up the walls
Lift me higher
But you hide behind a fortress tall
Afraid to let it crumble
Afraid to fall
Your smile
It saves me
Time after time
Why can't you let me in
Let your heart be mine
Why won't you let your guard down
Let me love you
Let me stay
Your laughter heals my shadows
Gets me through my darkest days
Why won't you let your guard down
Why won't you let me stay
I see the cracks
The way you turn away
But even storms can't hide the sun all day
You're a puzzle
Pieces scattered wide
But I see the picture
I see what's inside
Your voice
It carries
Through every doubt
But you whisper to yourself
And shut me out
Your eyes light up the darkest rooms
Like stars that chase away the gloom
But your walls are built so high
So strong
Why can't you see where you belong
Your smile
It breaks the hardest stone
Your laughter feels like coming home
Why won't you let your guard down
Why won't you let me through
I'm standing here
Arms open
Just trying to love you
Your light could heal the shadows
But you're hiding it away
Why won't you let your guard down
And let me stay
You carry the weight like it's your crown
Afraid to let it all fall down
But I see the cracks
The hidden fight
You don't have to face it all tonight
Your smile
It mends my broken days
Your laughter leads me through the haze
Why won't you let your guard down
Why won't you let me through
I'm standing here
Arms open
Just trying to love you
Your light could heal the shadows
But you're hiding it away
Why won't you let your guard down
And let me stay
Why won't you let your guard down
Let me love you
Let me stay
Your laughter heals my shadows
Gets me through my darkest days
Why won't you let your guard down
Your eyes ignite the corners dim and grey
A wildfire burning through the night’s decay
Your laughter cracks the clouds that block my way
Yet
Walls you’ve built
They keep me at bay
Oh why won’t you let your guard down
Love?
I’m here holding stars from above
Your smile’s the light
It’s guiding me through
Let someone love the real
Raw you
A fortress high
Your heart locked in steel
Each layer screams
“Don’t dare to feel”
But I see you glowing without a sound
Oh
Why won’t you let your guard down?
No
It’s not a weakness to let someone in
Even shadows deserve a little sun within
Through your chaos
I’ll never lose my place
I’ll hold the key
Unlock the space
Oh why won’t you let your guard down now?
Right here I stand
I’m binding the vow
Your laughter fuels the courage to pursue
" Baby, let your guard down an' Let me love the real
Raw you
