Black Door

Down the road not too far from my home Lives a girl I swear I used to know Her doorway was always open for my battered bones But times have changed and now it's closed We used to sit and drink tea late into the night And when our cups were empty we'd go and smoke outside On the wall beside the church where silence grew so loud There once was love but there's nothing now So I hope that I never see you again Because if I do my heart will split in two And I must refrain from calling Or walking to knock on your black door 'Cause you're not the answer anymore I built a fortress deep inside my mind So I could pretend that we were doing fine I buried truths and lived the past, just getting by I should have seen this coming but I guess that I was blind So I hope that I never see you again Because if I do my heart will split in two And I must refrain from calling Or walking to knock on your black door 'Cause you're not the answer anymore No you're not the answer anymore I wish you well, don't get me wrong We both have different paths to move on Doesn't stop my soul reaching out to you And in the darkness when I'm alone And your bed still sounds like home I'll poison memories So I can face the truth This is it, the full stop in our sentence For so long we sat and stared, looking down from the fence You jumped forward, I fell back I was broken by your attack Now it all makes perfect sense So I don't speak about you Or mention you by name You'll never cross my mind Or fill my heart again No excuses, no relapse No I don't want to get you back All I want is to forget everything All I want is to forget everything...
