If You Let Me
About the song
The song “If You Let Me” by Alina Baraz is about offering love, support, and emotional safety to someone going through hard times. The main theme is being there for someone fully ready to listen, to carry the weight, and to help them heal, but only if they’re willing to let you in.
In the verses, the singer notices that the person she cares about is struggling, losing sleep, feeling lost, and carrying heavy emotions. She wants to be the one they turn to, the reason they start to feel better. She’s patient and understanding, not trying to force anything, but hoping they’ll open up and trust her.
The chorus gently asks for emotional honesty: “If you let me, I’ll treasure all the things you tell.” It shows how much she values vulnerability and connection. The message is simple—she’s not asking for perfection, just the chance to be there for them, no matter what they’re feeling.
Lyrics
Another day losing sleep over bad nights
Know you hate feeling pulled by the wrong tides
Put the weight of the world on my shoulders
I’ll be your reason (I’ll be your reason)
You’re running to better (you’re running to better)
When you’re under pressure
When things get too heavy, leave it to me (leave it to me)
If you’re ready
Don’t keep your feelings to yourself
If you let me
I’ll treasure all the things you tell
If you let me, if you let me
When you’re lost and you’re searching for meaning
Hope you find all the things you’ve been needing
Let it go, it’s behind you
Know I’m right beside you if you go
I’ll be your reason (I’ll be your reason)
You’re running to better (you’re running to better)
When you’re under pressure
When things get too heavy, leave it to me (leave it to me)
If you’re ready
Don’t keep your feelings to yourself
If you let me
I’ll treasure all the things you tell
If you let me, if you let me
If you let me
