Out the Door

~Erlich

Morning comes
Like a flight of stairs
The starts wane dim in the dawning sky
The radio sounds lonesome in the darkness
And suddenly I'm opened up again

I should be used to this
I should be strong
But every step I miss feels so long

Open wounds left alone don't always heal
We reinvent to wheel every time we reconcile
It's another day of masquerading
I sleepwalk through the years
The sun rises but my eyes are closed
You scream in my ear but I don't hear a thing

And I know that it won't help but I kiss you when you sleep
Say I'm sorry and tiptoe out the door

Twenty five years is long enough
You best believe I'd rather be alone
Than spend another day this way
You best believe I'd rather be alone
Than wait for you to change

And I know that it's too late but I touch your skin
I forgive you and tiptoe out the door

Evening comes
Like a den of thieves
The sun is safely stashed behind the trees
And everyone feels lonesome in the darkness
And every night we close our doors and hide
