Let Love In
[Verse 1]
When I was a young girl
I heard the old folks say
You can't love just anyone
Lock your heart away
So I learned to keep my heart
Way up on the shelf
Now I know you can't love anyone
Until you love yourself
[Chorus]
Let love in, let love in
Let it take you to a place you've never been
Let love in, let love in
You know you might never get this chance again
[Verse 2]
Now I am an older girl
And wiser, I believe
I don't lock my heart away
I wear it on my sleeve
When you're brave and true in love
You gotta learn to say goodbye
You can't live in the memory
Gotta spread your wings and fly
[Chorus]
Let love go, let love go
Let it light a path through truth, through the unknown
Let love go, let love go
Set it free so it can find its way back home
[Bridge]
Now I know who I wanna be
Now I know my heart
Now I know holding on too tight's tearing me apart
Letting go of yesterday
Letting in that light
Searching for a brand new wave and everything's alright
[Interlude]
Let it in
[Chorus]
Let love in, let love in
Let it take you to a place you've never been
Let love go, let love go
Set it free so it can find its way back home
