[Verse 1 — Intimate Vocals] I left the hallway light on late As if you'd still come home someday Your number glowing on my phone A little proof I wasn't alone I played the scenes I couldn't change Until the words all lost their shape Then morning came without a sound And showed me I was still around [Chorus — Powerful Melodic Vocals] Close the door, let me breathe I'm more than what you leave I won't live there anymore I know what I'm living for [Refrain] The room is quiet now I can hear myself [Verse 2 — Stronger Vocals] I know the shape of every crack The turns that always pulled me back The words I swallowed, every time The practiced lie that I was fine But I can leave the lights behind And let the dark be only night I won't call the damage fate Or dress the loss up as a change [Chorus — Full Band] Close the door, let me breathe I'm more than what you leave I won't live there anymore I know what I'm living for [Refrain] The room is quiet now I can hear myself [Bridge — Emotional, Gradually Building] To the girl who couldn't leave Who wore the hurt beneath her sleeve You don't have to beg to stay Where love keeps turning you away You don't have to take the blame For every promise that they break Now hear the quiet, let it speak You're allowed to leave in peace [Guitar Solo with Violins] [Final Chorus — Huge Melodic Vocals + Layered Harmonies] I'm closing the door, but I'm not gone I held it open for too long I won't keep losing sleep at night To make the wrong thing feel alright I gave the past all I could give Now there's a life I have to live No more waiting by the phone No more mistaking hurt for home [Outro — Soft Female Vocals, Instruments Slowly Fading] The hallway light goes out No footsteps coming now I don't need to look back I let the silence last This is the closing I'm still here This is the closing And I can breathe.
