Let You In Slow

Intro

(uh)

Yeah

Verse 1

Built this wall up brick by brick, every single year

Got real good at smiling while keeping people clear

Out the room I built for one, out the life I learned to run

Then you showed up casual like you already won

Didn't force the door, didn't rush the wall I made

You just sat outside it, patient, unafraid

Watched me test you, watched me push, watched me pull away

And somehow every single time you chose to stay

Pre-Chorus

So here's the keys I never thought I'd give

(thought I'd give, thought I'd give)

Here's the broken parts I learned to finally live

(thought I'd give, thought I'd give)

Chorus

I let you in slow, I let you in scared

I let you see the parts that I never bared

This isn't easy, this isn't my normal speed

But you're the kind of risk that I think I need

(uh, oh-oh)

I let you in slow, I let you in scared

(uh, oh-oh)

I let you see the parts that I never bared

Verse 2

I used to think love meant losing every guard I built

Used to think trust was a thing that ended up in guilt

But you don't ask me to be someone softer than I am

You just love the version that's actually a hand

Not a performance, not a polished perfect show

Just the messy, guarded, learning how to grow

Version of me that's finally letting something real

Take the place of every wall I used to feel

Pre-Chorus

So here's the keys I never thought I'd give

(thought I'd give, thought I'd give)

Here's the broken parts I learned to finally live

(thought I'd give, thought I'd give)

Chorus

I let you in slow, I let you in scared

I let you see the parts that I never bared

This isn't easy, this isn't my normal speed

But you're the kind of risk that I think I need

(uh, oh-oh)

I let you in slow, I let you in scared

(uh, oh-oh)

I let you see the parts that I never bared

Bridge

Letting go

(letting go)

Of the wall

(of the wall)

Turns out being known completely

Isn't scary, it's not small

Chorus

I let you in slow, I let you in scared

I let you see the parts that I never bared

This isn't easy, this isn't my normal speed

But you're the kind of risk that I think I need

(uh, oh-oh)

I let you in slow, I let you in scared

(uh, oh-oh)

I let you see the parts that I never bared

Outro

(uh)

Risk that I think I need

Yeah
