Keep Letting You In
I’ve tried letting us fall
But it never succeeds
I always walk away
But never do I leave
Always push you away
But you always return
Have the match in hand
But still wont let it burn
You open the door
Every time that I close it
So why haven’t I
Lock the door shut and then bolt it
I can honestly say it tears me up
And leaves me stuck like I’m chokin
Stuck at this door
That I constantly open
I have all the right words
Still I can’t speak
Don’t ever want to let you back in
But for you I am weak
You take a toll on me strongly
One that I can’t break
Its like I lose myself
Fall asleep and then wake
But wish I could stay asleep
So I wouldn’t have to deal with the pain
See my sorrow runs deep
And flows into an empty drain
It’s all just a map
I wish I had a route to
But one-day ill have the courage
To carry on without you
