If You Close A Door, You'll Open Up The Window
You close the front door & I opened the back window.
You walked away & tried to let go.
You slammed the gate & I punched the ground.
You got in the car & I got back down.
You turned the key & I turned the other cheek.
You started the engine & I started to weep.
You sat in the running car & I sat by myself.
You thought about what you’d done & I thought, “What a mess.”
You reversed the truck out of the drive & I reversed all of our past life.
You put the truck into drive & I put my hands to my side.
You drove away without a second thought & I drove it all away.
You edged closer away from me & I edged myself on to the next day.
You stopped long enough to catch the red light & I stopped all together.
You sighed, moved on & I sighed, feeling lost forever.
You sped up, lost focus & I sped down, kept going.
You crashed into the wall head first & I crashed full on knowing.
You came out unhurt & I came out into the worst.
You got out of the car to the sound of sirens & I got out of this torn.
You promised yourself to take it slow next time & I promised to be honest.
You swore you weren’t going to do this to yourself anymore & I swore to it.
You told me it was a mistake & I told you that you were a fake.
You didn’t press on & I didn’t press for another take.
You understood, walked away again & I understood this was the right thing.
You gave me my space & I gave you back your ring.
You let me take my time & I let you go your own route.
You eventually called back to me & I eventually I heard your shouts.
You apologized, said we couldn’t just stop & I apologized, too, said you were right.
You promised me friendship & I promised you mine in return that night.
You walked away once more & I walked back into the house.
You left me & I left it all behind, now.
You once stole my heart & I once loved everything about you.
You said goodbye to me & I said goodbye too.
You smiled, said hello to a new woman & I smiled, said hello to this new man.
You wished me good luck & I wished for this one to last.
You never come up anymore & I never come down from these clouds.
You are finally gone & I am finally proud.
You loved me for all that I was & I loved you for all that you were.
You wanted the old me & I wanted my cure.
You were the heroin within my needle & I was the addict you loved.
You are no longer here beside me & I am no longer yours to shun.
You shut the front door & I shut the back.
You’re no longer the present & I’m no longer your past.
You walked away & tried to let go.
You slammed the gate & I punched the ground.
You got in the car & I got back down.
You turned the key & I turned the other cheek.
