Letting You Back In(Acoustic) Lyrics by Ton Smith Persona Artist: Forge HereAfter [Verse] I ignored every warning written in your eyes, Every “don't go back” was easier to deny. You said you'd changed, swore this time was real, I wanted your words more than I wanted to heal. I silenced my doubts just to hear your voice, Called it love, though I knew it was a choice. I knew the risk, still let my guard fall, 'Cause loneliness makes you believe it all. [Chorus] I let you shatter my heart to pieces Just to feel you close again. I rebuilt it right before your eyes, You tore it apart like it meant nothing All it took was hearing you say you're sorry, Like those words could make things right. And I know I played a part In letting you back into my life. [Verse] I stitched myself together just to stand exposed, Every fragile piece hoping you'd hold close. You watched me bleed like it was nothing new, Like breaking me was all you knew. I kept forgiving what you wouldn't defend, Calling it love when it should've been the end. I stayed too long before I understood, You never held my heart the way you should [Chorus] I let you shatter my heart to pieces Just to feel you close again. I rebuilt it right before your eyes, You tore it apart like it meant nothing All it took was hearing you say you're sorry, Like those words could make things right. And I know I played a part In letting you back into my life. [Bridge] Maybe I loved the memory more than you, Maybe I mistook the pain for proof. I kept believing sorry meant change, But regret and remorse aren't the same. Now I'm standing here, finally seeing the truth, A heart can't heal while it's still being used [Chorus] I let you shatter my heart to pieces Just to feel you close again. I rebuilt it right before your eyes, You tore it apart like it meant nothing All it took was hearing you say you're sorry, Like those words could make things right. And I know I played a part In letting you back into my life. [Outro] Yeah, I know I played a part in letting you in, Now my part is making sure it never happens again.
