she won't let herself be loved

[Verse 1]
She won’t let herself be loved again
She’s had too many disappointing men
Now she won’t give them any time of day
It didn’t go so well the last time
She took them on in any way

[Pre 1]
She’s got a history of being let go
He never feels like he’s enough for her
But what is she supposed to do?
She doesn’t know

[Tag 1]
If there is something wrong with her or them
All she knows
Is she won’t let herself be loved again

[Verse 2]
She’s been telling me her love’s all gone
I’m understanding where she’s coming from
And giving me her fifty-seventh chance
Is too much of a gamble
Even with my best-laid plans

[Pre 2]
And I suggested we could take it slow
But a slow burn is worse than a flash in the pan
And given my record, it’s a good thing she said no

[Tag 2]
It’s not a matter of the where or when
No, she won’t let herself be loved again

[Pre 3]
And it’s a shame I’ll never get to see
What’s on the other side of the walls she’s built
I’m jealous of whoever does, but it won’t be me

[Tag 3]
‘Cause I know better than to try and mend her
If she won’t let herself be loved again
Let herself be loved again
Let herself be loved again
