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
