Hi,

Wasn't sure if you were still accepting lyrics for this round. This is such a great idea and opportunity, and I hope that there will be enough writers who participate so that you can keep it going.

Thanks,

Jennifer

CLOSE THE DOOR
© 2009 Jennifer Schmitt Harvey

(Verse)

Close the door, walk away
Close the curtain on our hell
Turn your back, our bridge is burning
And tell yourself we never fell
Tell yourself it ain’t worth saving
Just two old and tired souls
With our old and tired reasons
On a trail that’s growing cold

(Chorus)

And I’ll close the door behind me
Throw the key into the well
I’ll close this door inside me
And tell myself it’s just as well
And tell myself it’s just as well

(Verse)

I close the door behind you
And it’s smooth beneath my skin
Worn down by all the memories
By our prayers and by our sins
Lonely nights the light fell slowly
Laying shadows all around
And we lose things without knowing
When they die without a sound

(Chorus)

So I’ll close the door behind me
Throw the key into the well
And I’ll close this door inside me
And tell myself it’s just as well
And tell myself it’s just as well

(Bridge)

Guess it’s too soon to see how right it is
And far too late to change our minds
‘Cause we’re too far down this old road
To see what we left behind

(Chorus)

So we close the door behind us
Throw the key into the well
And I’ll close this door inside me
And tell myself it’s just as well
And tell myself it’s just as well

Yeah, I’ll close this door inside me
And tell myself we never fell
