Lyrics

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

I can’t wash the taste from my mouth
To find out like I did
I held pieces of the puzzle
That you so clumsily hid
But I know now

I let your words define me
You broke me to the bone
You stole my time, my dignity
A deceit you never owned
But I know now

I’ll be better off without you
Our love almost did me in
While I was doing all that I could
You were reaching out to him
All the champagne and confetti
He was throwing behind closed doors
While I was loving you completely
You were miles away
In someone else’s arms

He’ll come walking out of the shadows
Like a knight all dressed in white
He’ll wow them with his intellect
But no backbone in sight
And your mother will adore him
Your father will share his wine
You’ll romanticize the very man who wedged his way into our lives
But I know now

I’ll be better off without you
Our love almost did me in
While I was doing all that I could
You were reaching out to him
All the champagne and confetti
He was throwing behind closed doors
While I was loving you completely
You were miles away
In someone else’s arms

We can have our secrets
We can wrap them up so nice
But I know that they will haunt you
In the middle of the night
All our your monologue on morals
We all get what we deserve
True colours reveal themselves
I see right through your words
And what about me?
Did you think about me?

I’ll be better off without you
Our love almost did me in
While I was trying to find connection
You were reaching out to him
All the champagne and confetti
He was throwing behind closed doors
While I was loving you completely
You were drifting
Into someone else’s arms
