 Let Me In (Barela)
 
 I’ve been talking for a year now,   but it just seems that you don’t hear
 I know about the pain you feel inside you, girl,   and I know about your fears
 You’ve got to trust your instincts this time,   your intuition’s screaming in your head
 Cause only once in a lifetime,   you get a chance like this
 So listen to your heart instead
 
 Chorus:
 Let’s break down the walls this time
 And make us a foundation
 From all the pain we’ve ever had within
 Let’s make it and fall this time
 Cause I know I could love you
 If you’d just let me in
 
 So now you want me to catch you,   cause you’re thinking that you just might fall
 And now you say that you might run & you might try to hide, & you might try to build walls
 You’ve got to trust your heart and listen,   forget about what’s happened in your past
 Cause if you look into my eyes, girl,   you’ll begin to see the light
 Cause this time you know it’s gonna last
 
 Now I’m waiting for the phone to ring
 As I double check to see the line’s not dead
 The sound of your voice could save me tonight
 But the walls are closing in instead                    
 
 (Remember what we said: )
