Tear stained pages

In an old woman's leather bound diary

With circles around

Every time she wrote she loved him

Counting the times

She had broken her own damn heart

Chorus 1

Cause she let him in, she let him in

She let him in and she told him that she loved him

Resisting his charm

Was never her strong suit

So she let him in, she let him in

She let him in and she told him that she loved him

Verse 2

After so many years

She had promised herself

She had given up on love

The still lingering smell

Of the roses on her husband's grave

Washed away by the rain

And by her ever changing mental state

That was the first time

Chorus 2

That she let him in, she let him in

She let him in and she told him that she loved him

Resisting his charm

Was never her strong suit

So she let him in, she let him in

She let him in and she told him that she loved him

Bridge

She wrote I knew from the moment I saw your face

We'd be back and forth

Breaking my back

Trying to get you to stay

And I knew from the moment I heard your voice

It'd be haunting me in my grace

Cause you're the one that got away

Chorus 3

She let him in, she let him in

She let him in and she told him that she loved him

Resisting his charm

Was never her strong suit

So she let him in, she let him in

She let him in and she told him that she loved him
