It Was You Songtext
von 12 Step Rebels

Jolted awake, alone in my bed
As dark waves of terror crash in my head
Beneath a blanket of confusion, like a fog on the sound
A hand I can′t see pulls me down
And I'm sorry I called you, that I asked your name
But we were just children and it was just a game
Unspeakable evil, unforgivable sin, please leave me alone
I never meant to invite you in

And even though I′m the only one who sees you (Let me in)
Doesn't mean that you're not there
You came from the sky, struck me down (Let me in)
Stole all the joy I′d ever share
And the words that you spelled in planchette glass (It was you that let me in)
Still echo again and again (It was you that let me in)
Through this hollowed out shell of a man
"It was you that let me in" (It was you that let me in)


Darkness all encompassing, sun in the sky
I try to get to my feet, try to open my eyes
Unrelenting agony pounds in my head
Again the darkness falls upon me, am I dead? No
I′m naked on a table of cold stainless steel
Blank stares on my body betray the hopelessness they feel
Through monitors and cables, hoses and machines
Through the fear and the pain I can hear him calling me
And he's still calling me

And even though I′m the only one who sees you (Let me in)
Doesn't mean that you′re not there
You came from the sky, struck me down (Let me in)
Stole all the joy I'd ever share
And written on this crumbling sanctuary (It was you that let me in)
In blood by my own younger hand (It was you that let me in)
To this hollowed out ghost of a man
"It was you that let him in" (It was you that let me in)

And even though I′m the only one who fears him (Let me in)
Doesn't mean that he's not there
He came from the sky, struck me down (Let me in)
Stole all the joy I′d ever share
Forever haunting the man I pretend to be (It was you that let me in)
As I die every day deep within (It was you that let me in)
As he kills me again and again
But it was me that let him in (It was you that let me in)
I let him in (It was you that let me in)
I never meant to let him in (It was you that let me in)
