Let You In 2018

Music and Lyrics by Gabrielle Liriano

Lyrics:

​

Kissing cheeks. What did you say?
Let's try to eat, but my mind's away
I'm in Paris laying on grass
Should I laugh? Yes-I can laugh
Sweaty palms and ragged smiles
I really don't that I can last a while and
I'm not about to let you in

​

Compliments and loving eyes
Though you haven't seen me sleep deprived
Ugly snarls and rugged hair and
Mental breakdowns everywhere
You seem to like the tales I tell
That's great because I've improvised and
I'm not about to let you in

​

Why do we let and accept

the love we think we deserve?
I'm dismissing you friend for a night

at a bar with a beer and a jerk

But if you take my hand
And we get on a plane
End up in the wonderland
that's inside of my brain
I don't know that I could handle
Any more pain
From someone not loving the view

​

Empty plates and tender sighs
Will this be the last goodbye?
Sure it would be if you'd seen
Out that Friday night, believe me
Quite compulsive without reason
Waking up somewhere I don't sleep and
I don't think I can let you in

​

Why do we let and accept

the love we think we deserve?
I'm dismissing you friend for a night

at a bar with a beer and a jerk

But if you take my hand
And we get on a plane
End up in the wonderland
that's inside of my brain
I don't know that I could handle
Any more pain
From someone not loving the view

​

Men before have won the key
Unlocked the doors, found all of me
Adventures raced at rocket pace and
I was left in outer space
Please don't take my breath away
I just got it back yesterday
No but really just be wary
My scenes can be kind of scary
Do you really want to come in?

Maybe I should try and let you in...
