Open the door she said please let me in It's been a long night and I'm trying hard to recognize her voice Stuck on the other side of these walls with a pitiful decision Won't make it out tonight And now I'm pacing these steps back and forth again Such a familiar game that I never seem to win Do you remember when I said I'm getting better? I'm sorry dear How can I recover when I don't want it for myself And I don't think I ever will My darling I've failed you and I have given up on trying to get better I start to sink and slip away Can you recall that old feeling when I held you in my arms?
