Gabrielle Aplin - Let Me In Lyrics






He doesn't make your knees weak
He's beautiful and bleak
He has a porcelain face
That cracks when he speaks
I go to start a conversation but I
Get no reply
Instead you stare like a statue
As I break down and cry

Your face is like an eagle
But your mind is like a crow
And boy i know you have opinions
But you don't let them show
You're a shelf of books without the pages
A wealth of thoughts locked up in cages

Locked up, locked up, locked up...

And if blood runs through your veins
Don't you suppose it's such a waste
To be composed in such a way
Just let me in...
Just let me in...

You write me letters
In a pen with no ink
And you have your own eyes
But you don't dare blink
And you speak in words
Without a sentence
You're the ghost that haunts me
Without a presence...
Without a presence...
Without a presence...

And if blood runs through your veins
Don't you suppose it's such a waste
To be composed in such a way?
Just let me in...
Just let me in...

    Gabrielle you do so many beautiful songs and amazing covers, if I could request, could I ask for you to do a cover of "Savage Gardens - I Don't Know You Anymore" or actually "broken strings by James Morrison l" I do think both a songs with you're voice would be perfect for and again I will melt deeper still in you're beauty and amazing voice ❤️❤️ love you forever and always - WithoutUHere xxxx

    This song always rang true for me. I was and still am friends with someone who was nothing short of an enigma. She locked everyone out, wore her mask until it became a permanent aspect of her identity. All I know is what she has allowed me and others to see, and whilst I may be one of the few to see glimpses of what's underneath the mask in fleeting moments of happiness, these moments are few and far between. All I know are the few pieces she has allowed me to see, and piecing these together is so difficult. But I know there's so much beauty in her that she keeps locked up, beauty in her carefully crafted words that dance with each poem and beauty in her soul. If only she just let me in.

    i remember listening to your songs back in high school. truly beautiful songs, your voice and lyrics are magical

  13. I.... V....

    ❤❤💖

  14. C.... B....

    Guys this is for me the meaning of this song:

    Ok, so she likes a boy but he is very shy/quiet/socially awkward or whatever, so she thinks he doesn't like her back because he doesn't express himself. "I go to start a conversation but I, get no reply, and you stare just like a statue
    as I break down and cry".
    But she says this: "boy i know you have opinions,
    but you don't let them show." That's when she realizes there is more behind him than his quietness and it doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't like her. She wants him to "let her in", she wants to hear what he thinks about her or how he sees the world. Also "if blood runs through your veins, don't you suppose it's such a waste to be composed in such a way? Just let me in..." , she thinks the way he is mostly quiet , but also "beautiful and bleak" is a waste, because she knows he is beautiful on the inside as well. He has a rich inner world ( blood runs through your veins), but he doesn't show it. She just wants to know what he is thinking, and him to let her in into his inner world (or something like that).

    I can identify with this song, because I have been quiet almost my whole life, and I know what it is like to feel like if you can't express yourself, or are locked in/hiding under a shell, and not being able to show who you really are on the inside and feel like you are misunderstood :( It's hard for me to make friends right away, so also relationships, and quiet people just need a little more time to trust you I guess. I'm a girl btw.

    C.... B....

    Yes it's a tough way too live trust takes time for me.

    C.... B....

    Christina Braam good luck, people like us need it.

  15. E.... B....

    FODE MAIS 😍😍😍😍😍

  16. A.... ....

    This is still so beautiful...brings back all these memories of being in high school with all the stress and just coming home and playing this on piano. your voice is so soothing.

  17. D.... A....

    Acabo de comprobar que no solo existe el amor a primera vista... también existe el amor a primer oído.

  18. N.... C....

    He doesn't make your knees weak.
    He's beautiful and bleak.
    He has a porcelain face that cracks when he speaks.
    I go to start a conversation but I, get no reply
    Instead you stare like a statue as I, break down and cry

    Your face is like an eagle, but your mind's like a crow.
    And boy, I know you have opinions, but you don’t let them show.
    You're a shelf of books, without the pages.
    A wealth of thoughts locked up in cages.
    Locked up, locked up, locked up, locked up...

    And if blood runs through your veins,
    Don't you suppose it's such a waste?
    To be composed in such a way...
    Just let me in...
    out in, out in  out in  out...

    You write me letters in a pen with no ink
    And you have your own eyes but you don't dare blink.
    You speak in words without a sentence,
    You're the ghost that haunts me without a presence.
    Without a presence, without a presence ...

    And if blood runs through your veins,
    Don't you suppose it's such a waste?
    To be composed in such a way...
    Just let me in...
    Just let me in...


    This is such a beautiful song <3

  72. t.... ....

    I love you gab

  73. d.... w....

    South West Represent!!!!! Rather listen to her than Coldplay or Muse anyday

  74. R.... ....

    i love her voice!

  75. b.... ....

    Anyone have a link to the lyrics?

  76. j.... ....

    I love Gabrielle's songs so much. The music is beautiful just like her voice, and the lyrics actually mean something unlike a lot of songs now days. Perfect.

  77. J.... ....

    I would die if this amazing girl and Birdy got together and did a song. how incredible would that be?

  78. I.... ....

    Dor you ride those numbers your self?

  79. D.... S....

    there is no suitable word ♥

  80. j.... e....

    why isnt she on the radio or tv already shes so good and all her songs are so good

  81. K.... F....

    I love how it seems like nothing exists to her when she sings except what she's singing about and the piano :).

  82. F.... G....

    She's really good, it's so beautiful how she's able to express so many feelings with a simple song. I'm a fan of her work and I wish I could see her live for once in a while. But I live in Brazil! So faaaaaar from her :/

  83. y.... a....

    She is brilliant but i don't necessarily feel her voice is unique....There are so many youtube singers that sound exactly the same.

    Either way, it's talent and it's better then most of the shite you hear these days.

  84. M.... I....

    dear Britons,
    if this is your answer to all the bullsh*t (and pardon me for my vocabulary but there's no other way to call Justin Bieber/Demi Lovato/Carly Rae Jepsen) you are doing awesome!

  85. H.... ....

    Ya know, I've never really liked girl singers for whatever reason, but I can't help but love this girl, she's amazing. Why the hell is she not famous?

  86. A.... F....

    for the verse i think the chords are D, Em, Bm, G but i cant seem to figure out the chorus :/ for anyone asking, i hope that helps! does anyone have any idea about the chorus?

  87. D.... ....

    why all the negative votes? Ellie Goulding is good, i'd take that as a compliment.. but she doesn't sound like Ellie cuz Ellie has less of a sharpness to her voice and Gabrielle is more defined in her words, when she sings them. what i mean is she pronounces her words more than Ellie does. i still like Ellie Goulding. i think it'd be better if her style were more like Gabrielle's because the whole popstar thing is way too played out, and Gabrielle's style is a lot more pleasant to listen to. (x

  88. O.... M....

    nah she's way to good to be an angel

  89. J.... F....

    the way she says "cry" at 0:50

  90. a.... ....

    well i'm not a guru of music, tones and all you said there..i'm just a musica lover... and in my ears... her voice is like biry's voice..NOT "the same"...:)

  91. s.... ....

    Not really because Birdy has a rounder sound whereas Gabrielle has a sharper tone. Plus Birdy's phrasing is also different from Gabrielle's. Lastly, Gabrielle's rifts & runs are also more rapid than Birdy's. Just because both of them have a British accent doesn't mean they sound the same... :)

  92. L.... F....

    this must be what heaven sounds like

  93. a.... ....

    well..you can say she sounds like birdy... she's not that..unique...

  94. x.... ....

    the lyrics in this are amazing, especially 'he has a porcelain face, that cracks when he speaks' genius

  95. L.... ....

    Wow, amazing voice quite endearing lyrics!

  96. J.... M....

    Wow. Your voice is magic.

  97. K.... ....

    Hi and thanks for the awesome music. Just discovered you and I am quite pleased. Please keep it coming... (*from Trinidad and Tobago*)
