Letting You In

Boarded up, sealed off, with a chair against the door
Deadbolt locked for each one that came before
And I set that chain forever in its place
Swore to myself I'd never make the same mistakes.

And then you, you came to me
And in your hand's a skeleton key.

Letting you in was the hardest thing I ever did
The raging war between my heart and head
The right one don't always win
Letting you in
I still thank God for that day
When you walked up and knew just what to say
To make me come unhinged
Letting you in.

I still don't know what you saw in me
I was beat up, broken down, closed off from everything
But still you knocked and waited patiently
Until I found the strength to find an opening.

Letting you in was the hardest thing I ever did
The raging war between my heart and head
The right one don't always win
Letting you in
I still thank God for that day
When you walked up and knew just what to say
To make me come unhinged
Letting you in.

Then you, you came to me
And in your hand's a skeleton key.

Letting you in was the hardest thing I ever did
The raging war between my heart and head
The right one don't always win
Letting you in
I still thank God for that day
When you walked up and knew just what to say
To make me come unhinged
Letting you in.
