had to get out, but had nowhere to go
trapped with myself, in a room on the floor
you looked in the window, but i couldn't come out
faith in you frozen and filled with so much doubt
the foundation was cracked, the locks sealed shut
you knocked on the door, but i couldn't get up
called out your name, but shadows got in the way
so i curled up with echoes to await a new day
climbed the walls and jumped off the roof
but when i woke up, i couldn't find you
burned down the house and swore i'd forget
take only steps forward and never regret
here i am now with a new place to live
the door is wide open and life feels good
the rent is paid, come and go as i please
this is my home, where my heart likes to be
i'm different now, got a new dress
not the same girl i was when i left
still lock you out, but sometimes i dream
i'm missing you there, are you missing me?
that first small step let to a giant leap
the distance between us is too far a breach
if i had stayed, would you have found me?
if i had follwed you, would we be happy?
should know better than to relive the past
the thought of you takes me two steps back
the curve of your face stops me in my tracks
when i think of you, i turn and look back
