Lyrics of The Door by Teddy Swims
verse
I took a page out of your favorite book
You sold me lies just by the way you look
Taught me a language that I never speak
Baby, that ain′t for me
That, that ain't for me
I dug my grave watching the way you move
You took me higher than I ever flew
Too many times, gave you a second chance
Baby, I′m just a man
I'm, I'm just a man
pre-chorus
No more thinking about you late night
No more running around with your friends now
Done picking up pieces of my soul up off the floor
chorus
I said I would die for you, baby
But I can′t take this pain no more
I thought I was willing
But tonight I save my life when I showed you the door
I don′t want to lose you, baby
But I can't play this game no more
I thought it would kill me
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
verse
You never thought this day would ever come
But I looked you in the eyes and pulled the rug
You tried to take away my sanity
Baby, that ain′t for me
That, that ain't for me
pre-chorus
Oh, no more thinking about you late night
No more running around with your friends now
Done picking up pieces of my soul from up the floor
chorus
I said I would die for you, baby
But I can′t take this pain no more
I thought I was willing
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
I don't want to lose you, baby
But I can′t play this game no more
I thought it would kill me
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
hook
When I showed you the door
When I showed you the door
But tonight I saved my life
chorus
I said I would die for you, baby
But I can't take this pain no more
I thought I was willing
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
I don't want to lose you, baby (I don′t want to lose you, baby)
But I can′t take this game no more
I thought it'd kill me (I thought it′d kill me)
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
outro
Hmm-mm
Whoa-oh
