The Door
Parabelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's the door
Does it make you think twice
Is it there just to remind you
Of all the bad times behind you

And you can beg or just repent
Waste time already spent
You can say your last good bye to me
Just let it be
Just let it be

I swear
That there's a peaceful part
Just what you think what breaks my heart

Whether you're up or you're down
Whether you're lost or you're found
These are the moments in time
Where one of us draws a line
And whether you're strong
Or you're weak or you're in between
These are the moments
I know I'm better alone

There's the floor
It'll be your bed tonight
I'm not here to deny you
To place blame or to defy you
But you said words you never meant
It takes a long time to forget
Let your heart say good bye
When you meant what you said
And your body never hand the chance to get caught up

But I swear this is the easy part
I don't want you to stay
You know it breaks my heart

Whether you're up or you're down
Whether you're lost or found
These are the moments in time
Where one of us draws a line
Whether you're strong
Or you're weak or you're in between
These are the moments
I know I'm better alone

In all the shapes we know
Is all the hate we know

But if you're gonna stay
You better make it up to me
And if your gonna leave

There's the door
Does it
Make you think twice

Whether we're up or we're down
Whether we're lost or we're found

These are the moments I know
I'm better alone

Whether we're strong or we're weak or we're in between
These are the moments in time where one of us




Where one of us draws a line
Where one of us draws a line
