Can't Let You In

I can hear you at the bottom of the stairs
The sound of breaking bottles, curses splittin' the air
You're shoutin' up the hallway, shouting down the street
I have to close my ears, I can't stand the heat
And I can't let you in, I can't let you in, I can't let you in

And I have a picture hanging on the wall
Of you in all your tall and handsome just before the fall
And I have a black mark written in my book
Of all the times you ripped me off and everything you took
And I can't let you in, I can't let you in, I can't let you in

Your long sad story breaks my heart
And no sarcasm on my part
But if I let you look me in the face
You'll get the best of me
You know my weakest place
And I can't let you in

And I can hear you cryin' leanin' up against the door
Cryin' like a lost child that I don't love you anymore
But love you, yes I love you and that's what this is about
I can't pick you up, I can't throw you out
And I can't let you in, I can't let you in...
