Cold hearts break beneath the strain
But mine fills up in pouring rain
Feels like drowning in icy seas
Surrounded by boats with no place for me

All tangled up in my heart strings
I try to play this melody
Was never meant to be alone
Was never meant to be alone

Let me in—from this storm
“There's no place to make you warm”
On locked doors, I keep pounding
Please, I scream, I think I'm drowning
Let me in!
Let me in!
Let me in


In the cold, I keep on swimming
Boats drift by, with huddled figures
Shoulder to shoulder, they keep from freezing
Making it all just look so easy

All tangled up in my heart strings
I try to play this melody
Was never meant to be alone
Was never meant to be alone
Let me in—from this storm
“There's no place to keep you warm”
On locked doors, I keep pounding
Please, I scream, I think I'm drowning
Let me in!
Let me in!
Let me in

Let me in!
Let me in!
Let me in

Beneath the dark, something calls to me
I hear a voice, whispering softly
But I'm still drowning, I’m treading faster
But another figure, is in the water

A plank of wood, drifts on by
So I’m Racing towards and there I lie
I reach on out, for this stranger
Make room for her, despite the danger

Was never meant to be alone
Was never meant to be alone
Was never meant to be alone
Was never meant to be alone
Let her in—from the storm
“There's a place to keep her warm”
On locked doors, she kept pounding
Please, I screamed, “I think I'm drowning.”
So I let her in
Let her in
Let her in

Let her in
Let her in
Let her in
