Let It Happen Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I've never craved someone's attention
As much as yours, thought I should mention that
[Chorus]
I'd 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
[Post-Chorus]
I let it happen
[Verse 3]
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
(Hmm, mm, mm)
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I'm looking in the mirror
You made me vain, I can't believe I have to be her
[Chorus]
I'd 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 (Ah, ah)
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
[Post-Chorus]
I let it happen
I let it happen
I let it happen
I let it happen
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
I bet all my money that I will
Lose to you and hand you my life (Ooh)
Here's to hoping you're worth all my time (I hope you're worth my time)
I might barely know you, but still (Still)
Don't love you yet, but probably will (Will)
Turn me into something tragic
Just for you, I let it happen
I bet all my money that I will (I'm letting it)
Lose to you and hand you my life (I'm letting it, ooh)
Here's to hoping you're worth all my time (I hope you're worth my time; I'm letting it)
I might barely know you, but still (Still)
Don't love you yet, but probably will (Will)
Turn me into something tragic
Just for you, I let it happen (I'm letting it, I'm letting it)
[Outro]
(Whatever) I let it happen
(Whatever) I let it happen
(Whatever) I let it happen
I let it happen (I'm letting it, I'm letting it)
[Verse 1]
Abrams admits to being a walking contradiction and acknowledges her history of needing to be in control. She is aware that her need for control could lead her to end up alone. This self-awareness sets the stage for her internal conflict throughout the song.

She describes a conversation that broke her emotional defenses, revealing her vulnerability. The image of a "backbone made of glass" signifies her fragility. Despite this, she remains hopeful and waits by the phone, ready to move forward if the other person is.

[Post-Chorus]
The repeated line "I let it happen" emphasizes her acceptance of whatever outcome may come from her vulnerability and emotional surrender.
[Verse 3]

[Pre-Chorus]
Looking in the mirror, she realizes the person she has become because of this relationship. She feels vain and cannot believe she has become someone so different from her true self.
[Bridge]
