let me in
By Heart Lyrics

I dream about my hero
I often daydream about a heroic figure who lived in the past

A hero from a trying time
This heroic figure lived during a difficult period

And once again I need you by my side
I feel lost and could use the guidance of my heroic figure once more

I'm cold and bruised
I am emotionally and physically hurt

I'm howling at your beauty
Your beauty moves me to the point of making me want to scream

I'm falling at your feet
I am metaphorically collapsing in your presence

I'm begging on my knees
I am pleading for your attention and affection

Please, answer when I ask you this:
I am desperate for a response to my question

Will you ever let me in?
Will you ever open up to me and allow me into your world?

I follow you my hero
I pattern my life after the example of my heroic figure

A shadow on an empty street
I am a mere shadow of my heroic figure, lost in the emptiness of my surroundings

Your kiss is burning holes inside of me
Your affection is having a profound effect on me

I'm gasoline
I am highly flammable and ready to ignite

Undress me 'til I'm naked
Strip away all of my defenses until I am completely vulnerable

And let me taste your breath
Allow me to get close enough to taste your essence

And if you want another
If you desire someone else

Then I'll wear a mask for you
I will hide my true self and become whatever you want me to be

On your question why, I answer love
When you ask why I do what I do, my answer is 'love'

At your dazzling smile I surrender now
Your beautiful smile has overwhelmed me and I am now giving in to your will

In the blackest night there's a ray of light
Even in the darkest of times, there is hope

And if it be your will I'll give you right
If it is what you want, I will give you control

On my second try I am half way down
On my second attempt to win you over, I am already feeling the pain of defeat

I've been hit too hard, I have seen too much
I have experienced too many setbacks and am feeling overwhelmed and defeated

Have I lost my mind, have I been a clown?
Am I losing my grip on reality, or just acting foolishly in pursuit of your affection?

It's all for you because you mean that much
I am going through all of this pain and turmoil because I care for you deeply

Will you ever let me in?
Once again, will you open up to me and let me into your life?
