[Pre-Chorus] I kept the receipts sorted out by year with dates and names and everything clear
I didn’t lose a thing I only paid and what you still call open is no longer there

[Chorus] You still know my door but you don’t live here anymore you still know where it hurt but I don’t open blind
You know every button but you don’t know the code you know who I was not who I am

[Verse 2] You sit down at the table like you were invited order my old silence and expect me to wear it
You call me by names I almost forgot then laugh so familiar I almost give in
You show me old pictures with dramatic eyes say: that’s still you I say: piece by piece
You reach for the wheel with that old easy hand but since our last fire I’m not driving there

[Pre-Chorus] I kept the receipts but none of them are open I kept the old reasons but no one’s at the table
I didn’t bury the wounds in the walls I just know their voices and I don’t turn around

[Bridge] I’m not throwing you out with a shaking hand I just don’t light up the whole house for you
It wasn’t for nothing it wasn’t just pain but not every scar still shows me the way
You can stay in the photo inside of the frame but don’t step from the picture into my today
I see what you bring I know what you came for but this time you stay outside the door

[Final Chorus] You still know my door but you don’t live here anymore you still know where it hurt but I don’t open blind
You know every button but you don’t know the code you know who I was not who I am
You bring me the evidence I nod and remain what I paid back then I don’t pay again

[Outro] The jacket stayed hanging. The photo stayed still.
The door didn’t slam. It just wasn’t open for you anymore.
And I moved on without losing myself.

[Verse 1] You showed up late again wearing my old face didn’t even knock you never did that anyway You had that jacket on from back in the hall acting like it was yours but it only smelled like then You brought screenshots with you and my old perfume a “don’t you remember?” and stood a little too close You said: look at me I still know who you were I said: probably true but you’re a little late [Pre-Chorus] I kept the receipts sorted out by year with dates and names and everything clear I didn’t lose a thing I only paid and what you still call open is no longer there [Chorus] You still know my door but you don’t live here anymore you still know where it hurt but I don’t open blind You know every button but you don’t know the code you know who I was not who I am [Verse 2] You sit down at the table like you were invited order my old silence and expect me to wear it You call me by names I almost forgot then laugh so familiar I almost give in You show me old pictures with dramatic eyes say: that’s still you I say: piece by piece You reach for the wheel with that old easy hand but since our last fire I’m not driving there [Pre-Chorus] I kept the receipts but none of them are open I kept the old reasons but no one’s at the table I didn’t bury the wounds in the walls I just know their voices and I don’t turn around [Chorus] You still know my door but you don’t live here anymore you still know where it hurt but I don’t open blind You know every button but you don’t know the code you know who I was not who I am [Bridge] I’m not throwing you out with a shaking hand I just don’t light up the whole house for you It wasn’t for nothing it wasn’t just pain but not every scar still shows me the way You can stay in the photo inside of the frame but don’t step from the picture into my today I see what you bring I know what you came for but this time you stay outside the door [Final Chorus] You still know my door but you don’t live here anymore you still know where it hurt but I don’t open blind You know every button but you don’t know the code you know who I was not who I am You bring me the evidence I nod and remain what I paid back then I don’t pay again [Outro] The jacket stayed hanging. The photo stayed still.
