Let Me In
Stereophonics(스테레오포닉스) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Came in through the door
Right before my eyes
All this time
Had my picture on the wall
Saw my fears
And thought of all those days
Everyday
Through your eyes
Then you're gone
All my life
And I mean everyday
You were my everything
Everything
Then you choose
To turn your back on us all
And you won't live this life
And you won't leave these scars
Common tell me did you feel it
Common tell me did you need me
Common why did you leave me
Oh no
Common tell me did you feel it
Common tell me did you need me
Common why did you leave me
I've gotta know
Common tell me did you feel it
Common tell me did you need me
Common why did you leave me
I've gotta know

Now, the person has “turned [their] back on us all,” and the singer is left wondering why they had to leave.
