Let Me In
Hollands Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When my heartstrings fray
God I need you
You know I need you, don't run away
It's just all so close
Don't leave me alone
You know I love you
You know I mean it
Does it wake you up in the middle of the night
Digging thorns into your side?
Does the color of the walls in your room seem to fade
When you remember how your only love ran away
Does it tear apart your chest when you hear my name
Do your hands still shake just before it starts to rain
Does it wake you up in the middle of the night
When I'm not by your side
Oh no
You don't know
The Hells I've seen
The strange routine
Of memories
You don't know
What it's like to lose
What means the whole world to you
You don't know
Does every word I say wear holes into your mind
Deeper every night
Is every kiss we shared still hanging off your lips
Can you feel my hands ghosting your finger tips
Did the light in the back of my eyes start to fade
With every day I was away
Did I wake you up in the middle of the night
When you realized, when you realized
That you don't know
The Hells I've seen
The strange routine
Of memories
You don't know
What it's like to lose
What means the world to you
You don't know
To have the love of your life
Look into your eyes
And tell her only lie
You said
"Don't call me babe
That's not my name
I don't need you
I only need you to stay away
It's all to close
And everyone knows
Forget I love you's
Forget forever
And let me go"
Let me go
Oh you don't know
The Hells I've seen
To watch you leave
So suddenly
Nah we both know
You didn't have to go
So afraid to be alone
We both know
And the things you don't say but you mean
Mean so much more to me
And you leave me in between
"Call my name
When my heartstrings fray
God I need you
You know I need you, don't run away
It's just all so close
Don't leave me alone
You know I love you
You know I mean it
Don't let me go"
The song "Let Me In" by Holland is about a person pleading for their former lover to come back to them. The song is an emotional plea for this person not to run away, to stay close and to remember that the singer loves them. The lyrics paint a picture of an intense emotional pain that comes from the absence of the person they love. They ask if the pain of losing someone they love also affects the former lover - does it keep them awake at night, or make them realize how much they have lost?
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "you don't know", highlighting the fact that the singer's former lover cannot understand the depth of pain they are feeling, nor the extent to which they love that person. The second verse talks about the Hells that the singer has seen and the lessons that they have learned, while the bridge addresses the lies that have been told in the relationship. The song ends with a repetition of the original plea to not run away, to stay close and to remember that the singer loves them.
Overall, "Let Me In" is a heart-wrenching song that deals with the pain of lost love and the desperate attempts to get it back.

Call my name
Ask for me when you're in trouble
When my heartstrings fray
When I'm feeling overwhelmed
God I need you
I need help from a higher power
You know I need you, don't run away
Don't abandon me when I'm struggling
It's just all so close
Everything is too intense and overwhelming
Don't leave me alone
Stay with me through the hard times
You know I love you
I have deep feelings for you
You know I mean it
I'm being sincere
Don't let me go
Don't let our relationship end
Does it wake you up in the middle of the night
Do you have trouble sleeping because of me?
Digging thorns into your side?
Do I cause you pain and discomfort?
Does the color of the walls in your room seem to fade
Does everything lose its vibrancy when you think of me?
When you remember how your only love ran away
When you think of the pain of losing me
Does it tear apart your chest when you hear my name
Do you feel overwhelming emotion when you hear my name?
Do your hands still shake just before it starts to rain
Does the weather remind you of me?
When I'm not by your side
When I'm not physically present
You don't know
You can't understand
The Hells I've seen
The pain and suffering I've experienced
The strange routine
The coping mechanisms I've developed
Of memories
The memories that haunt me
What it's like to lose
The feeling of losing everything important
What means the whole world to you
The thing that you value most
Does every word I say wear holes into your mind
Do my words stick with you and cause damage?
Deeper every night
Getting worse and worse
Is every kiss we shared still hanging off your lips
Do you still remember the times we were intimate?
Can you feel my hands ghosting your finger tips
Can you still feel my touch?
Did the light in the back of my eyes start to fade
Did I lose my passion for life?
With every day I was away
During the time I was gone
That you don't know
That you can't comprehend
To have the love of your life
To have the person you love most
Look into your eyes
Make eye contact
And tell her only lie
And deceive them
Don't call me babe
Don't use that nickname for me
That's not my name
I have a different name
I don't need you
I don't require your assistance
I only need you to stay away
I just need you to leave me be
Forget I love you's
Don't mention our past affection
Forget forever
Don't let our love last
Oh you don't know
You can't comprehend
To watch you leave
To witness your departure
So suddenly
In such a quick and unexpected way
Nah we both know
We both recognize
You didn't have to go
You didn't need to leave
So afraid to be alone
You were scared to be by yourself
And the things you don't say but you mean
The implied messages you send
Mean so much more to me
Are incredibly significant to me
And you leave me in between
You've left me in a state of uncertainty
