Let Somebody In

I’ve always kept my world locked tight,

Boarded up windows, no porch light.

Built my walls a mile high,

And learned to smile while I cried inside.

But one day someone saw the cracks,

Didn’t run, didn’t turn their back.

They didn’t ask me to explain—

They just sat with me in the rain.

And I let somebody in,

Not all at once, just where I’ve been.

They didn’t try to fix or change,

They just stayed through all the pain.

I didn’t think I ever could,

But maybe feelin’ safe feels this good.

It starts with trust, soft as skin—

And lettin’ somebody in.

I thought being strong meant bein’ alone,

Fought every battle on my own.

But carryin’ the world gets rough

When you never say, “That’s enough.”

They taught me how to breathe again,

By showin’ up, by bein’ a friend.

And for the first time in a while,

I didn’t have to fake the smile.

‘Cause I let somebody in,

Not all at once, just where I’ve been.

They didn’t try to fix or change,

They just stayed through all the pain.

I didn’t think I ever could,

But maybe feelin’ safe feels this good.

It starts with trust, soft as skin—

And lettin’ somebody in.

Doesn’t mean the dark won’t come,

But I don’t have to face it numb.

It’s not about bein’ saved or strong—

It’s just knowin’ I belong.

So I let somebody in,

And I’m learnin’ how to begin again.

Not perfect, not all healed,

But for once I’m startin’ to feel.

I still get scared, still hold my breath,

But I’ve got love that outshines death.

And it all began with that first grin—

When I let somebody in.

Yeah… I let somebody in.
