If you'd only let me in

You pulled me close just for a second  
Like it didn’t weigh a thing  
But I kept falling deeper, deeper  
And you felt nothing

You said I’d always have a place  
Like the light you leave on low  
Every time I moved in closer  
You were already letting go  
Forever ain’t enough in the dark  
Standing where you used to sleep  
I gave you more (...) than I could hold
You never once called it mine

I laid my heart out in the open  
In words I wrote for you  
Left them like footprints in the sand  
Hoping you’d follow through  
I asked you straight, I didn’t hide  
Put it all out on the line  
You just smiled, didn’t answer  
Left me somewhere behind

You said I meant something to you  
Someone you’d always hold  
But every door you had inside  
Stayed shut, stayed cold

You said I’d always have a place  
Like the light you leave on low  
Every time I moved in closer  
You were already letting go  
Forever ain’t enough when I fall  
Standing where you used to sleep  
I gave you everything I was  
And you just let it fade

If you’d have opened up just a little  
Let me see inside your mind  
Just a crack in all that silence  
Maybe I’d have read the signs  
Maybe I could’ve understood you  
If you’d only let me in  
Just a piece of who you really are  
Not the parts you let me in  
I was standing there with all my questions  
Keys that never fit your door  
And no matter how close we got  
I never reached you anymore

You said I’d always have a place  
But I was never really there  
Just a shadow in your memory  
Fading in the air  
Forever ain’t enough when I’m alone  
Standing where you used to sleep  
I gave you everything I had  
And you never wanted it that strong

So all I got is what you left me  
A word that don’t hold weight  
Forever came a little too late  
Or maybe I was just too certain  
About what I saw in you

You stood there, hair still wet Wrapped in a towel, you smiled at me I thought it meant something Yeah, I thought I knew My thoughts got loud, way too loud Turned a dream into the truth You were standing in that doorway Like I belonged to you I didn’t speak, but I felt it Every part of me said stay Just a little longer, don’t move Don’t slip away You pulled me close just for a second Like it didn’t weigh a thing But I kept falling deeper, deeper And you felt nothing You said I’d always have a place Like the light you leave on low Every time I moved in closer You were already letting go Forever ain’t enough in the dark Standing where you used to sleep I gave you more (...) than I could hold You never once called it mine I laid my heart out in the open In words I wrote for you Left them like footprints in the sand Hoping you’d follow through I asked you straight, I didn’t hide Put it all out on the line You just smiled, didn’t answer Left me somewhere behind You said I meant something to you Someone you’d always hold But every door you had inside Stayed shut, stayed cold You said I’d always have a place Like the light you leave on low Every time I moved in closer You were already letting go Forever ain’t enough when I fall Standing where you used to sleep I gave you everything I was And you just let it fade If you’d have opened up just a little Let me see inside your mind Just a crack in all that silence Maybe I’d have read the signs Maybe I could’ve understood you If you’d only let me in Just a piece of who you really are Not the parts you let me in I was standing there with all my questions Keys that never fit your door And no matter how close we got I never reached you anymore You said I’d always have a place But I was never really there Just a shadow in your memory Fading in the air Forever ain’t enough when I’m alone Standing where you used to sleep I gave you everything I had And you never wanted it that strong So all I got is what you left me A word that don’t hold weight Forever came a little too late Or maybe I was just too certain About what I saw in you
