The Door Between Us

**THE DOOR BETWEEN US** [Verse 1] The boxes filled the hallway The silence filled the room Everybody looked away Like they knew something I didn't Mom said things would be okay Dad said nothing would change But nobody could tell me why Everything felt different [Pre-Chorus] Was it something that I did? Something I got wrong? I keep looking for the answer But it never comes [Chorus] Daddy, you're my hero You're the strongest man I know If I did something wrong Please tell me so Daddy, you're my hero So why are you walking away? I'm standing right here But you seem further every day [Verse 2] Then one day I heard the news You found somebody new Everybody smiled Like I was supposed to Pictures on a different wall A house I didn't know And somehow I felt smaller With every year that showed You built another family A brand new life ahead And I kept wondering quietly Where I was supposed to fit [Pre-Chorus] I told myself Be happy for him But a part of me kept asking Why I wasn't there with him [Chorus] Daddy, you're my hero At least that's who you were The man I wanted to become The man I still remember Daddy, you're my hero Or maybe you used to be Because every road between us Feels harder now to see [Bridge] Nineteen years old Face to face Angry words Filling space Neither one of us Would back down Neither one of us Could hear a sound Except the breaking Of everything We used to be [Final Chorus] Daddy, you're my hero That's what I used to say Before the shouting Before that day Daddy, you're my hero But heroes fade away too And somewhere in that moment The door closed between me and you [Outro] A slammed door... A silent room... And two people Walking away...
