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: )
