[Verse 1] You always stood between me And everything you feared. You took the weight upon yourself And never let me near. You thought that if you hid the scars I'd never see the pain. But I've watched you fight the memories That follow you again. [Pre-Chorus] You don't have to smile for me. You don't have to be strong. If you're tired of carrying it, Then let me carry some. [Chorus] LET ME IN! Don't hide the scars from me! You don't have to face the darkness Just to keep me free! LET ME IN! I'm not the child you knew! I may not have every answer, But I'll stand here with you! You don't have to face it alone. You don't have to stand alone. Let me in. [Verse 2] You taught me how to face the world. You taught me not to run. But now I see the things you hide When you think the day is done. I know you wanted better. I know what you were trying to do. But protecting me from every wound Can't protect me from losing you. [Pre-Chorus] So if the night comes back again, If memories pull you under, Reach for me. I'll be there. [Chorus] LET ME IN! Don't hide the scars from me! You don't have to face the darkness Just to keep me free! LET ME IN! I'm not the child you knew! I may not have every answer, But I'll stand here with you! [Verse 3] And then my friend stood beside me, A smile beneath those eyes. Sahrotaar became my sister Without ever asking why. She brought me to her family. They welcomed me inside. And when I called for help, A stranger gathered heroes to my side. I will never forget them. Every voice that answered me. When I thought we stood alone, They showed me what a family means. [Bridge] [Quiet piano and voice] Maybe courage isn't standing Where nobody sees you fall. Maybe courage is admitting That you need somebody after all. So Mother, when you're hurting, You don't have to disappear. I'm still here. [Final Chorus] LET ME IN! Don't hide the scars from me! You spent your life protecting me, Now let me stand with thee! LET ME IN! I'll stand beside you! Through every memory, Through every battle, Through everything we have to do! For Sahrotaar! For the family! For everyone who answered when I called! If someone else is falling, I'll be there. I'LL BE THERE WHEN SOMEONE CALLS! [Outro] [Soft guitar and piano] You don't have to protect me From everything. Just let me stay.
