**Intro:** (Instrumental) **[Verse 1]** Every time the lock turned, I cursed the sound, Another way shut, another dream broke down. But now I see the wisdom in the scars, They led me here, where I’m meant to start. The love that left, the paths that bent, They weren’t my ending, just where I wasn’t meant. Now I stand here, stronger than before, Grateful for the lessons of the closed doors. **[Chorus]** Thank you, closed doors, for keeping me safe, For guiding me away from the wrong embrace. Every broken dream, every tear I’ve cried, Was a step on the path to where I thrive. Oh, thank you, closed doors, for what you denied. **[Verse 2]** The jobs I lost, the hearts that strayed, At the time, I begged for them to stay. But hindsight’s a gift, and now I know, Those endings helped me truly grow. What wasn’t mine, what wasn’t meant, Taught me to treasure the time I spent. Each rejection a compass pointing me true, To a life I couldn’t see, but now I do. [INSTRUMENTAL] **[Chorus]** Thank you, closed doors, for keeping me safe, For guiding me away from the wrong embrace. Every broken dream, every tear I’ve cried, Was a step on the path to where I thrive. Oh, thank you, closed doors, for what you denied. **[Bridge]** The “no” I feared, the “goodbye” that stung, Were the whispers of fate, a new song unsung. Every failure’s a lesson, every fall a climb, To something better waiting in time. **[Chorus]** Thank you, closed doors, for keeping me safe, For guiding me away from the wrong embrace. Every broken dream, every tear I’ve cried, Was a step on the path to where I thrive. Oh, thank you, closed doors, for what you denied. **[Outro]** So here’s to the heartbreak, the dreams that fell apart, They made room for the fire burning in my heart. Now I walk forward, fearless and free, Thankful for all that wasn’t meant for me. **End:** (Instrumental fading out)
