That Door

Verse 1

There’s a door in my mind I keep
Locked behind what I can’t release
They say step through, start again
Lose the scars, forget the pain

Every night I see it there
Like a whisper in the air
“All the hurt could disappear…”
If I leave this life right here

⸻

Pre-Chorus

But there’s a line I can’t erase
A memory I won’t replace

⸻

Chorus

If I walk through that door
I could heal what I’ve been through
No more nights on the floor
No more breaking in two

But I’d lose you…
Every moment, every scar
Every road that led this far

I’d go through every bit of it again
If it means I end up in your arms

⸻

Verse 2

They don’t know what you saved in me
What your love pulled out of me
All the damage, all the weight
You were light I didn’t break

Yeah I paid for every tear
Every doubt, every year
But the cost don’t mean a thing
If it brought you into reach

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I won’t trade what made us real
For a life I didn’t feel

⸻

Chorus

If I walk through that door
I could heal what I’ve been through
No more nights on the floor
No more breaking in two

But I’d lose you…
Every moment, every scar
Every road that led this far

I’d go through every bit of it again
If it means I end up in your arms

⸻

Bridge (soft, stripped down)

Let it hurt… let it stay
Every step that led my way
I don’t want a life that’s clean
If it wipes away you and me

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger, emotional)

So I won’t walk through that door
I’ll keep every bruise and memory
Every tear I wore
Every part of me

’Cause I found you…
And that’s worth the broken parts
Every mile, every scar

Yeah I’d go through every bit of it again
Just to end up in your arms
