You Won't Let Me Lyrics

If you would only let me,
I could show you how to love.
Take our time, let all it go.
If you'd would only let me,
I could show you how to cry.
In your darkest hour,
I would lead you through the fire.

But you won't let me.
You won't let me.
I don't want to say goodbye,
I just want to give it one more try.
And I'd do anything.
Yes, I'd do anything.
If you'd only let me.

With your hand in mine,
I would show you how to laugh.
Nothing heavy, nothing serious.
Just forget about all that.
You've been stepping back,
I want to be your friend.
You tear down the walls that surround you.
And build you back up again.

But you won't let me.
No, you won't let me.
I don't want to say goodbye,
I just want to give it one more try.
And I'd do anything.
Yes, I'd do anything.

So tonight, stay with me.
I know I could change your mind.

But you won't let me.
You won't let me.
No, I don't want to say goodbye.
I just want to give it one more try.
But you won't let me.
No, you won't let me.
I don't want to say goodbye,
I just want to give it one more try.
But you won't let me.
No you won't let me.
I'd do anything for you.
I'd do anything for you.

But you won't let me.
No, you won't let me.

You won't let me.

Pretty straightforward on this one... She wants a relationship with someone. She can see the potential and he is choosing to ignore it.

Who knows why, but he is blocking it out.

At her live show, before singing this one, Rachael said something along the lines of:

Have you ever loved someone so much, but they just are in such a bad space or place and you just want to help them and heal them and make it all better, but you can't... You can't because the person has to do it for themselves ya know?

She said something like that...
