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
