Lock the Door

Lock the Door
 
I’m going to lock the front door
So you’ll come around here no more
 
You put me in a place of pain
Left me standing in the pouring rain
 
It always remains exactly the same
You enjoy playing your little games
 
You leave me bleeding from the pain
A sense of myself I need to regain
 
Feel I’ve tried over again and failed
Another spike into my cross is nailed
 
I always tied to be there for you
It just left me cold and feeling blue
 
No matter what I did it was never good enough
You made me feel I wasn’t made of the right stuff
 
To you love was nothing but an endless game
Took advantage because I didn’t feel the same
 
Just what is it that you really want?
In my dreams your ghost will haunt
 
I think you even cheated on me
From your love I must break free
 
You are similar to a snake in the grass
Meanwhile I walk on broken glass
 
I’m going to close and lock the door
So that you’ll come around no more
