Staring at the door
Every night I'm thinking more and more
About walking out that door.

I know some day I will
Although I'm standing still someday I will

As right as we were we are wrong
Nothing's going to change what we've done

But my thoughts of someone else here by your side

Nothing's going to change what we've done
The only thing that keeps me from going, babe
Is wondering what you'll do when I'm gone.

Staring at the door
Every night I'm thinking more and more
About walking out that door
