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
