Lyrics
Let Yourself In – copyright © Chris MacLean 2009 (SOCAN)
Everything in shambles lying
All the meant to last got broke
Pretty dreams, castles burning
Gone in trails of smoke
They will stand and stare at the mess that you are in
Oh, you’re lost, you are hurting
Come, let yourself in.
Chorus
Let yourself in, and welcome all your ghosts
Sit them down, pour a round, offer up a toast
You deserve to live this life
Yes, you know you do
And all the promise stored inside
Is still waiting there to bloom.
I once walked that lonesome road that your’e now trailing on,
Oh the pitfalls and the blind curves, I remember every one
Do not wast your precious time
On the shards or blame
They will only serve to hurt you
No there is no shame.
Chorus
Let yourself in, and welcome all your ghosts
Sit them down, pour a round, offer up a toast
You deserve to live this life
The way that’s best for you
And all the promise stored inside
Is still waiting there to bloom
They will stand and stare at
The mess that you are in
oh your’e lost, you are hurting
Come let yourself in.
