How can I let you in
When you're so bright
You hold the world in your hands
Your future filled with light
How can I let you love me
When all I know is hate
From my friends and exes
About myself and my weight
How can I let you see
The pain I hide inside
When you have your own
And I'm used to being brushed aside
How can I let myself fall
When I've never been caught before
I've never been chosen
No matter how much they swore
But how can I let you go
When you bring me such joy
I feel like myself
Not just some toy
How can you be so kind
In this sick world we're in
Where people use you
And kindness has never been
How can you be so hopeful
When the world tears everyone down
When life is impossible
And people leave you to drown
How can I let you in
When I hold such darkness
I don't want to suffocate your light
So I can't help but be cautious
I don't want to be the one
To add to your chains
But all I really know
Are the darkest pains
