Let Me In
VIKTORIA LIV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Damned if I don't
These unspoken rules
Illogical
What did you do
You put your hands on me
The rest is history
Don't wanna wrong these rights
It's a painful kind
But it wasn't love
Where'd you go, mmh
I really shouldn't mind
Not allowed to miss you
I'm not allowed to care
It's just another shady, wicked love affair
And now that I'm without you
It's when I get scared
Think I like your touch
Did I say too much, oh
I still hit you up when I'm alone
You still got pictures of me in your phone
If I was standing out your gate again
I know you'd let me in
And you know you'd let me in
I give my heart to men I know won't break it
If you reach inside my chest, reciprocate it
I'd make you mine, if six were nine
If we were naked
Do what we want and
No more differentiating
Did it burn when you kissed it
It's your turn now to miss me
I'll sacrifice it all
I do it for the dream, mmh
Tearing at the seams
Cause I'm not allowed to miss you
I'm not allowed to care
It's just another shady, wicked love affair
And now that I'm without you
That's when I get scared
Think I like your touch
Did I say too much, oh
I still hit you up when I'm alone
You still got pictures of me in your phone
If I was standing out your gate again
I know you'd let me in
And you know you'd let me in
Me in
Me in
Me in

Line by Line Meaning
Damned if I do
I will be criticized if I do what I want
Damned if I don't
I will be criticized if I don't do what they want
These unspoken rules
There are unwritten rules I'm expected to follow
Illogical
These rules are not reasonable
What did you do
Reminiscing about what happened
You put your hands on me
You physically touched me
The rest is history
The outcome is already known
Don't wanna wrong these rights
I don't want to mess up what I'm supposed to do
So much on the line
There is a lot at stake
It's a painful kind
It's a type of discomfort
But it wasn't love
The connection I had with you wasn't love
Where'd you go, mmh
Wondering where you went
I really shouldn't mind
I shouldn't care as much as I do
Not allowed to miss you
I'm not allowed to feel nostalgic about you
I'm not allowed to care
I don't have permission to care about you
It's just another shady, wicked love affair
Our relationship is similar to others that ended badly
And now that I'm without you
Since you're gone
It's when I get scared
I feel afraid
Think I like your touch
I enjoy your physical embrace
Did I say too much, oh
Wondering if I revealed too much
I still hit you up when I'm alone
I still contact you when I'm by myself
You still got pictures of me in your phone
You still have images of me on your mobile device
If I was standing out your gate again
If I were outside your residence again
I know you'd let me in
I'm sure you'd allow me to enter
And you know you'd let me in
You also know you'd let me in
I give my heart to men I know won't break it
I only give my heart to men I trust
If you reach inside my chest, reciprocate it
If you accept my heart, I'll accept yours too
I'd make you mine, if six were nine
I'd be with you if the world was upside down and backwards
If we were naked
If we were stripped down
Do what we want and
We'd have no restrictions
No more differentiating
Differences wouldn't matter
Did it burn when you kissed it
Did my kiss ignite a passion in you?
It's your turn now to miss me
It's now your turn to long for me
I'll sacrifice it all
I'll endure anything for love
I do it for the dream, mmh
I do it for the vision of what we could be
Tearing at the seams
Struggling to hold myself together
Me in
I want to be with you
