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...
