"Don't Let Them In" lyrics

 

Don’t let them in

One too many times you got your fingers badly burned

So you figure thats a message and a lesson learned

But if you’re asking for a measure of my sympathy

Please dont come to me

 

You’re not the only one whose had the need to hide away

But you dont contemplete the lonely price you have to pay

If you’re determined from now on to be as cold as ice

Then this is my advice

 

Dont let them in

Dont show any sign of emotion

Cause you cant allow them into the chamber of your private heart

 

You’ve been wondering why your friends never seem to call

Too many times they’ve grown so weary trying to scale the wall

You emphasise your feet are firmly standing on the ground

But there’s no more friemds around

 

So keep performing in this theatre of you only can

The image of an unsuspecting sacrificial lamb

Meanwhile everyone will get on with their daily lives

So dont feel obliged

 

Dont let them in

Dont show any signs of emotion

Cause you can’t allow them into the chamber of your private heart

And if you begin

To indicate the slightest affection

You might get hurt again

So dont let them in

 

Its a grand facade  I think you try too hard

This is so unreal Hey what do you feel

Do you feel anything

 

The fire in your eyes is clouded with uncertainty

Cause being a martyr is’nt all thats its made out to be

So if you ever take another chance in your life

I’m sure you will survive
