god...
you brought me to the door...
but i ain't gon' lie... i'm scared to walk through it
'cause every time i opened up before...
i got hurt...
i built these walls, thick like old brick and stone
smile on the outside but inside, i'm alone
lessons carved deep from every hand i’ve held
love faded grey, pain’s the only tale i tell
they say "open up," like pain’s a choice to let go
but they don’t know the weight of the blows
each time i tried, the chill would find my skin
now my heart's a lock, and i ain't giving in
every open door holds a shadow behind it
every "i love you" got a secret that's blinded
i've spilled my blood so i don't feel the sting no more
why's the world telling me to open those doors?
open wounds... no, i don’t wanna bleed again
can't let nobody in, don’t need another friend
but there's a whisper low, saying "try one more..."
standing still, right here, staring at an open door
caught a glimpse of something real inside that room
laughter breaking through the cracks of gloom
people shedding masks, raw and unrefined
truth spilling out like tangled vines
quiet, i sat, watching shells fall apart
part of me breaking, part still holding heart
voice inside warned, "don't lose your way"
but in that seat, peace begged me to stay
every open door holds a shadow behind it
every "i love you" got a secret that's blinded
i've spilled my blood so i don't feel the sting no more
why’s the world telling me to open those doors?
open wounds... no, i don’t wanna bleed again
can't let nobody in, don’t need another friend
but there's a whisper low, saying "try one more..."
standing still, right here, staring at an open door
tears slipped down, no use holding back sorrow
pain hit like waves crashing through tomorrow
voice trembled, hands folded tight in prayer
for once, i told my soul laid bare
“tired of running the same stormy line
tired of shadows chasing my mind
if healing means this broken dance
i'll take the fall, even if i lose my stance”
if i crack open this heart, will i survive?
if i trust again, will i lose my life?
or is this the place i finally claim?
is this the love that can hold my name?
every open door holds a shadow behind it
(but i’m stepping through it now)
every "i love you" held a lie inside it
(not this time, not now)
open wounds... yeah i’ve bled before
(but healing’s knocking at the door)
i was scared, but i chose to fight
and i ain't alone tonight
maybe...
the door wasn’t a trap to break me...
maybe it was the key...
to let me breathe
