Let Me Be the One

[Verse 1] You don't have to tell me What you're trying to hide I can hear it in your voice Every time you say you're fine And I know you've got your reasons For keeping me outside But every time you leave There's something in me asking why [Pre-Chorus] I could walk away I probably should But when it comes to you I never do what I should [Chorus] So let me be the one You call when you can't sleep Let me be the arms You fall into when it gets too deep I don't need to have you I just need you close And if you give me half a chance I'll give you all I know If you're gonna let somebody love you Baby, let it be me [Verse 2] I don't care about your past I don't need to know every name You don't have to make it pretty You don't have to hide the pain I've got scars you haven't seen yet Things I never say out loud Maybe we're both a little broken Maybe that's what brought us now [Pre-Chorus] And I'm not asking For a promise in the dark I'm just asking If there's room for me in your heart [Chorus] So let me be the one You call when you can't sleep Let me be the arms You fall into when it gets too deep I don't need to have you I just need you close And if you give me half a chance I'll give you all I know If you're gonna let somebody love you Baby, let it be me [Bridge] Maybe you're afraid I'll leave like they did Maybe I'm afraid You'll never let me in But I'm standing here And I'm not asking you to change Just turn around And look at me for once I've got nothing clever Nothing perfect left to say I just know I want you And I don't want to walk away [Final Chorus] So let me be the one You reach for in the night Let me be the person Who stays when you lose the fight I don't need forever Written down in black and white Just give me something real And I'll meet you there tonight You don't have to give me everything You don't even have to know Just open up that door a little And I'll take it slow If you're gonna let somebody love you If you're ever gonna let somebody close Baby, let it be me [Outro] You don't have to say it I can wait right here Just don't shut the door When I'm finally this near Let me be the one Let me be the one
