Banging on My Door
Bang. Bang. Bang.
I hear you banging on my door.
My door that is strong and solid.
My door that is closed to your beat.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
I feel you banging on my door.
My door that will never open
To your heart ever again.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
I see you banging on my door.
My door that hides my tears.
My door that protects my heart.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
I feel the pounding of my heart.
My heart that once loved you.
My heart, now cold and silent.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
I hear you banging on my door.
My door that is locked tight
My door that has no key.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
I see you banging on my door.
I feel my heart banging in my chest.
I hear your screams for mercy,
While I sit here safe and sound
Behind my door.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Bang. Bang.
Bang.
