Heartgate

[Verse 1]
You built these walls around your heart
Stone by stone, piece by piece
Every door you've locked and barred
Tells me pain won't let you free

I see the fear behind your eyes
When I reach out my hand
You turn away, but I won't go
I'll help you understand

[Pre-Chorus]
The chains that bind you aren't made of steel
They're made of all the hurt you feel

[Chorus]
Let me in, let me in
Past the iron door you hide behind
Let me in, let me in
Leave the past and pain behind
I won't hurt you like they did before
Let me in past the iron door

[Interlude 1]
[Balalaika and accordion dance break]

[Verse 2]
You've been running from the truth
Scared of what love might bring
But I'm not them, I'm here for you
Through whatever storms may sing

Your broken trust, I'll heal it slow
With patience, not with force
Show you there's another way
To change your heart's set course

[Emotional Bridge]
[Building intensity, power vocals]
If you'd only take my hand
Walk with me across this land
Leave the fortress that you've made
Don't let love just slip away

[Loud scream]
Don't let love just slip away!

[Chorus]
Let me in, let me in
Past the iron door you hide behind
Let me in, let me in
Leave the past and pain behind
I won't hurt you like they did before
Let me in past the iron door

[Breakdown]
[Drums drop, haunting violin solo]
I'll wait here by your side
Until you're ready to confide
The door is heavy, but it's not locked
Just trust me, take a shot

[Final Chorus]
Let me in, let me in
Past the iron door you hide behind
Let me in, let me in
Leave the past and pain behind
I won't hurt you like they did before
Let me in past the iron door

[Outro]
[Fading balalaika, soft strings]
Let me in...
Let me in...
