Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In Okains Bay, oh I could have stayed, and never went home
Might have been brief, but at least I was free from all of my ghosts
That live in my head like reflections on water that only come once
I still haven’t learnt deceptions in the cinematic version of love
But I can’t get enough
[PreChorus]
These days, oh the world doesn’t sing to me quite how it used to
See, this life is a touch too damn much for me and maybe that's meant for me
[Chorus]
'Cause I know there's a room where I'm happy
But I can’t find my way to the door
Tell me who wins the war ‘tween my heart and my head
I forgot what I’m suffering for
I surrender to dark, so when it all falls apart
At least I won’t have to pretend
And I know there’s a room where I’m happy
Let me in, let me in
[Verse 2]
To tell you the truth, I was wondering why you’d be so drawn to my voice
Like the tide to the moon, if you I move, honey it’s not a choice
Now I’m showing you all of these parts of myself
I’m terrified I’ll bring you closer to hell but
[PreChorus]
These days, oh the world doesn’t sing to me quite how it used to
See, this life is a touch too damn much for me and maybe that’s meant for me
[Chorus]
'Cause I know there's a room where I'm happy
But I can’t find my way to the door
Tell me who wins the war ‘tween my heart and my hea
I forgot what I’m suffering for
I surrender to dark, so when it all falls apart
At least I won’t have to pretend
And I know there’s a room where I’m happy
Oh, let me in, let me in
[Refrain]
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
[Verse 3]
I’d give anything to change, anything to change my fate
I know there’s a room where I’m happy
But I can’t find my way to the door
Tell me who wins the war between my heart and my head
I forgot what I’m suffering for
[Outro]
I surrender to dark, so when it all falls apart
At least I won’t have to pretend
And I know there’s a room where I’m happy
Let me in, let me in
