Let Me In
Why did you go?
Why didn't you stay?
I'm sure you know
I miss you everyday.
Did you think we were better off without you?
Did you just have enough?
Did you think you couldn't make it through?
That you had it rough?
What about the ones you left behind?
They cared about you.
I wasn't able to change your mind;
I couldn't save you.
I tried so hard to make you see
That things would get better.
I wanted you to stay with me,
But instead you wrote your letter.
Apologizing for leaving things bottled in,
For hurting your family;
For ultimately giving in,
And for loving me.
Because that's the love that ripped you apart;
You say it was just too strong.
But I gave with all my heart,
And I think you were wrong.
You were afraid of loving me;
There was nothing you could do.
All along you wouldn't see
That all I needed was you.
I didn't care about looks or money,
I didn't think about all that stuff.
You and I were meant to be;
All we needed was love.
I was there to give that love to you,
But you were too scared.
I know what we had was true,
If only you had dared.
To love me with all you had,
To forgive every sin,
Release all the bad,
And just let me in.
