Let It Out
Saw you today
Took my breath away
Excited to see you
Thought you were passing through
My heart melts when I see you smile
It’s a feeling I never felt for a while
But I pulled back because I’m too afraid
I want to hold it in and not let it out
I go blank, don’t know what to say
I look at you, lost all day
Ignoring all the chatter
What they say doesn’t matter
They don’t know the good in you
They don’t know a heart so true
But I pulled back because I’m too afraid
I want to hold it in and not let it out
Our fingers touched, shudders to my knees
All I think is God please please please
Trying to calm anxieties
Suffocating, it’s hard to breathe
But I’m so tired of stumbling through life
So tired of being cut by a knife
So I pulled back because I’m too afraid
I want to hold it in and not let it out
Did I finally find true love
Is this a blessing from up above
Let’s get together, go some where
It doesn’t matter here or there
It doesn’t matter where we go
I just want to feel your glow
What will it take to get you to see
Just how much you mean to me
Can’t explain how it got like this
Sat at home, made a wish
Don’t want to pull back, though too afraid
Don’t cast me back, sharpened blade
Don’t want to hold it in, I want you to know
This feeling inside just grows and grows
Want to pull back because of doubt
Want to feel safe, want to let it out
