Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You get quiet when you need me
Like needing love is something wrong
You carry every disappointment
Then act as though the weight is gone
I can see the moment fear arrives
You pull your tenderness away
But I have never needed perfect
I just need the truth you’re scared to say
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to hide your weakness
You don’t have to prove your strength
I can love the parts still healing
I can meet you where you ache
[Chorus]
When you let me in
You’re everything I knew you could be
Soft without losing your power
Strong without running from me
When you let me in
I can feel your whole heart open
You don’t have to be afraid
You are worthy of devotion
When you let me in
[Verse 2]
I know someone taught you distance
Made affection feel unsafe
Now you question every promise
Before love can reach your face
But I won’t hold your past against you
Or rush the man you’re trying to become
I will stand beside the process
I won’t only love the finished one
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to earn my patience
You don’t have to play a role
I can recognize your goodness
Even when you lose control
[Chorus]
When you let me in
You’re everything I knew you could be
Soft without losing your power
Strong without running from me
When you let me in
I can feel your whole heart open
You don’t have to be afraid
You are worthy of devotion
When you let me in
[Bridge]
I’m not asking for your secrets
Just the pieces you can share
I won’t punish your confession
I won’t leave because you care
Let your shoulders fall beside me
Let your guarded breathing slow
You don’t have to fight the feeling
I already see your soul
[Final Chorus]
When you let me in
You become the man beneath the armor
Every frightened part grows quieter
Every tender part grows stronger
When you let me in
I can love you without guessing
You don’t have to stand alone
You deserve this kind of blessing
When you let me in
[Outro / Ad-libs]
Let me closer
Don’t turn away
I see the love in you
Even on your hardest days
You are enough
You’ve always been
Let me love the man you are
When you let me in
