When I first met you
It was thru an Open Door
But I'm not sure I'm welcome here no more
So I...
... I'm going to say goodbye

Don't get me wrong
I'm not trying to say
That we didn't have our fun
I just got this feeling that time is done

And so...
... I can't say I didn't know
Once the minutes and the days began to move so slow
And I think you know
That it wasn't... the same way
That it had begun

For all that time alone
I will now have
I'm caught up and paid in full
As I hope...
... You have as well

Been compensated
By  something that you will retain
When I'm gone and silence Reigns
I've been there before and I know
Just how it feels
And it's never easy

I came in through an Open Door
So today...
... I'll be going out a different way
Cuz I don't want to spoil
That feeling back then
When you let me in
So that then I can pretend
It never really did close
Even though
Even though we will both know
That it's just for show

Leaving out the back door now
Gently I pull it closed behind me
Don't want no scene or slamming door... To remind me
That it had its time
And it had run its course
No there's no denying as I go
On my back is a big remorse

That will bear its weight on my mind
Until that day that I will find
It's all but gone
That day...
... Won't be coming soon
It will take awhile for me to smile
And to sing a different tune
In the back of my mind

So now I've walked about a hundred yards
I turn back to wave at what once was
Shades are all drawn
And it's all dark inside
So even though you know we silently agreed
My leaving has still hurt your pride

I know... Oh how I know
I've been there before
