[My Door]



i never quite got the silent treatment

maybe now it's the end of o'r words

maybe again it's revenge for what?

i don't know...



and it's the words 'i think you're so mean'

i say calmest - i say in sadness

justice anger's an emotion i hope's survived

only by that one child i'll refer to as repose



and i hope your life has good purpose and balance

unlike when part of my universe circled around it

you see there's alot of good in my life now

all the while alot of bad out there grows



yea, it seems there's alot of good in my life now

all the while alot of bad out there grows

so, i can't find a place for all this sadness

i have to, well, you know



there's no place for you in my life

cause you wouldn't take it

and i just cannot take it

so what i'm saying

is i tried to make things right

but we couldn't make it

and everytime i tried

i ran out of patience

and now i remember why



cause, in these eyes



there's no room for sadness



you always wanted my door open

but you never came in

the seasons passed and the doorway

was filled with decayed leaves and dampness



and it was always too hot or cold

to come outside - to go inside

try and find another place to hide

and i swear this time i'll let you just stay there



i don't swear in anger, just sadness

cause i have to promise myself i'll be good to me

cause for some reason you just couldn't

i'll always love you though maybe i shouldn't



yea, it seems for some reason you just couldn't

i'll always love you though maybe i shouldn't

but, i love myself too - hey we gotta know this

i have to, well, you know



there's no place for you in my life

cause you wouldn't take it

and i just cannot take it

so what i'm saying

is i tried to make things right

but we couldn't make it

and everytime i tried

i ran out of patience

and now i remember why



cause, in these eyes



there's no more room for sadness



[Your Door]



i go and talk at your door one last time

i slip a card between the cracks in your crazy life

in your bedroom silent treatment finds eternal youth

but when you come out of there someday the illusion, sweetheart,



- you'll see it -



hey, you may have feelings for me, don't know?

but don't say you love me, oh no

whether to my face or to yourself, ya know

because you never ever let it show

take it in, i'll let it go

i promise myself



finally, the sky is clear - it's over

i tried to drown you in my love, but you floated

so much time went down the drain, i know it

walked away and came back again, but that thought's crippled



trying another day get's my life paralyzed

and one day we'll wake up having gone sterilized

and i don't know if i'd like a child in these atmospheres

but i'm sure that i don't want this, i'll make it clear



i go and walk out the exit of your life(the entrance of mine)

while you think you're punishing me with your spite

giving me the silent treatment like i've ever given in(that's alright)

when it's silent much longer then expected, sweetheart,



..i hate to say it...



- you'll see it -



hey, you may have feelings for me, don't know?

but don't say you love me, oh no

whether to my face or to yourself, ya know

because you never ever let it show

take it in, i'll let it go

i promise myself



- you'll see it -



but i don't wanna know

and i still wish you well

don't want letters through any mail,

hun they'll never be opened up

and am i writing this to myself

cause i've wrote you alot of letters

never got a return to sender,

but i rarely got an answer

and i have no answer

but one to myself

where i told you, i told you

i told me

merry christmas were the final words

because you never let it show

take it in, i'll let it go

always had to repeat myself

take it in, i'll let it go

i promise myself i let it go



there's no place for you in my life,

so i'll stamp this with postage that's expired
