"Let It Happen" lyrics

"Let It Happen"

No, I know
I'm a walking contradiction and it shows
Got a history of being in control
I'm aware that I could end up here alone

But then we spoke
I had a backbone made of glass, and then it broke
Now I stay up and I wait here by the phone
if you're ready, all I mean is we could go

I've never craved someone's attention
As much as yours, thought I should mention
that

I bet all my money that I will
Lose to you and hand you my life
Here's to hoping you're worth all my time
And I might barely know you, but still
Don't love you yet, but probably will
Turn me into something tragic
Just for you, I let it happen

I let it happen

But it's fine
'Cause I can tell that I'm projecting half the time
I lack context so I've made up all these lies
It's the only thing that helps me sleep at night
Mm

And now I'm looking in the mirror
You made me vain, I can't believe I have to be her

I bet all my money that I will
Lose to you and hand you my life
Here's to hoping you're worth all my time
And I might barely know you, but still
Don't love you yet but probably will
Turn me into something tragic
Just for you, I let it happen

I let it happen
I let it happen
I let it happen
I let it happen

You've turned all my skies to pouring rain
Locked me out the house again
Is this how you see me now? I'm reeling and I might
Break the windows, let myself back in
Lost it for a minute there
Get my shit together, it's whatever, but I could die
Knowing that you're probably out somewhere
While I'm in my underwear
Eating through my feelings, I'm still reeling, but it's fine
Oh, thank God that you're not seeing this
I'll spare you from everything
If you would still have me, I'll be waiting all my life
Oh-oh

I bet all my money that I will
Lose to you and hand you my life
Here's to hoping you're worth all my time
I might barely know you, but still
Don't love you yet but probably will
Turn me into something tragic
Just for you, I let it happen

I bet all my money that I will
Lose to you and hand you my life
Here's to hoping you're worth all my time
I might barely know you, but still
Don't love you yet but probably will
Turn me into something tragic
Just for you, I let it happen

I let it happen
I let it happen
I let it happen
I let it happen
