lyrics

She had the softest smile
I had ever known
But a razor-blade gaze
That could cut through bone- she had
Dark eyes that were black as coal
They lit my skies, when she burned my soul

Like a fine violin, I would soon regret
Being played like a fiddle in a
String quartet- I have
Felt the pain of a slamming door
But I can’t heal the hurt the simple way I would before...
I used to say

Let them out, let them in,
Never let them in your skin
But this time, I don’t feel so sure
Just ‘cause it’s her

Like a fool, I thought I was immune
To those deep dark eyes
In the month of June
July and August, they quickly passed
I never thought her spell would last

I had always known how to fly above
’Til she clipped my wings
And I fell in love
She was the only one, I was sure
But I was only one of many others at her door...
I watched as she

Let them out, let them in,
Never let them in her skin
But I can’t seem to walk out the door
Just ‘cause it’s

Hurtful to admit
I’m not as strong as I thought
But I guess I know
It’s just the way things go

Let them out, let them in,
They will still be in your skin
Even though I have tried to
Let her out, let her in,
She is always in my skin
And I cannot forget a love so pure
Just ‘cause it’s her
