Closed Doors

Tried to see the light
But your shadow darkens everything
Did my best not to bite
But your flesh is just so damn tempting
I'm dirty cheap I lie
But she always thinks I'm on my best behaviour
There's more than meets the eye
But her soul's too far gone to ever try to save her
But behind closed doors, I'll do you any favours
Please girl, don't fall in love with me again
These people simply will not understand
So keep your lips sealed
If nobody knows then nobody can get hurt
Don't tell me how you feel
Cause my response it'll only make shit worse
You got a tattoo of my name? Oh, that's cute
I guess I really own her
Hope she don't expect the same cause she'll get no more from me
Then what I clearly show her
So don't go run your mouth, or this will all be over
Please girl, don't fall in love with me again
These people simply will not understand
Please girl, don't fall in love with me again
These people judge so crucially, for they don't understand

A blue eyed brunette in a little sundress
Pulled her shades on at noon
She walked through the streets, kept moving her feet
Never stop, she'll be leaving soon
She moved through the crowd like a plane through a cloud
Never see her, if you didn't look
She was a thief of hearts, she always loved the arts
It was more than papers that she took
And she looked through the stores, she's always coming up short
Seems like nothing is ever enough
On a search for perfection with a lack of direction
And her mind's made on just giving up
She left empty handed, it was just as she planned it
Before a chance was given
She lost the ability to find any thrill to seek
She's barely living
Can I just ask you, what do you live for?
You play the fool just for something to do like no other
Can I be real here, just for a minute?
I don't think I like that shade of blue on you, cause that's just not your colour
You're so much brighter than that
And I think you should look at just what you took
Didn't you have everything before?
But you're after too much, nothing's ever enough
And you've still got the nerve to ask for more
I really do wish you'd see you're bigger than this
But maybe you'll never be content
You gotta be kidding me, you're not even listening
Let's start over again
Can I just ask you, what do you live for?
You play the fool just for something to do like no other
Can I be real here, just for a minute?
I don't think I like that shade of blue on you, cause that's just not your colour
You're so much brighter than that

Feel my heart beating like a drum in my throat
I guess I never knew my limit
You shouldn't talk about things you don't know
I just begun but I'm already finished
I guess if you never try you'll never know
It's not about what you've done but what you do
It's not about where you've been but where you go
And I'd never ask for someone else's shoes
Here we are, now
Don't got no money or riches but we're one of a kind
It's who we are, yeah
We're just looking for greener grass on the other side
What better time to try if you still don't know?
It's what you give, not what's given to you
Not about what you don't got but what you hold
And I'd never ask for someone else's shoes
Here we are, now
Don't got no money or riches but we're one of a kind
It's who we are, yeah
We're just looking for greener grass on the other side

Do you remember our late talks all through July?
Staying up to finish your cigarettes and wine
A warm breeze under this moonlight summer sky
We'd sleep all day to stay up all night
But those days they just seem so damn far away
I guess the North has a deep chill toll it takes
Nothing hits as hard as this breeze on your face
So let's find a new place
What do you say?
Put your money where your mouth is and never look back girl
I see it now
We can dance all night out alongside the summer shadows
There is nothing just quite like the taste of tired
Just a tip of the tongue reminder
So hard in a place so cold to be inspired
In search of ground much higher
What do you say?
Put your money where your mouth is and never look back girl
Let's leave today
We can dance all night out alongside the summer shadows

A sudden bliss has kissed your ignorant lips
A touch of blue breaks up your cloud
You finally let some water under your bridge
You finally let your guard down
Oh you've never given yourself much credit
I think I know just who you are
You're not the same, you've changed, and I won't forget it
I'm so proud you've come this far
So maybe you're not anything more than anything that you've been before
But that's just why I love you
So maybe you're crazy, and sometimes you hate me, but oh pretty baby
That's just why I love you
Oh you've never given yourself much credit
I think you know just who you are
You're not the same, you've changed, and I won't forget it
I'm so proud you've come this far
Oh you've always lived with one foot out the door
And I've always fought your battles for you
But you've finally found your place and so much more
And I honestly adore you
