Shut the door, do it now, for I am afraid of what lurks outside
Or is it inside? It is a door, a door I once used to adore
It was a way to love, a way to hold you close
Now, it hurts, even to look at it, makes me squint
Dear friend, I have to say farewell, for it is not worth the pain
That I linger, here where countless memories were made
Spun into beautiful dreams, doors of opportunities
Now, behind those doors lies the pain and the sorrow
The distance that pulls me away from you
Its cruel, but maybe its fate. I don’t know but I have to go
For it’s not worth the pain, to linger on to what is lost.
