Step in through the doorway, take off your shoes
When you leave I don’t want any traces left of you
All that I’ll remember is that an angel was here
Not even your name, my dear
Step in through the window, take off your coat
Put away that knife you’re holding at my throat
All that I’ll remember is the song you stole
And I won’t tell a single soul
Take what you want from me
But when you’re done, could you at least have the courtesy to leave?
Maybe this is how it’s meant to be, maybe I’m meant to be alone
Because the only hearts I ever love I can never call my own
Little good all this music does, no matter how much I sing
However many words I write on this page, I could never write you out of me
Tell me why you came here, don’t you lie
You don’t have to worry, I won’t cry
Some men bring roses like you brought me pain
And your voice runs through my veins
Don’t tell me where you’re going if you go
Cause I’m afraid I might follow if I know
All that I’ll remember is how long you stayed
And every single price I paid
Take what you want from me
But when you’re done, could you at least have the courtesy to leave?
Maybe this is how it’s meant to be, maybe I’m meant to be alone
Because the only hearts I ever love I can never call my own
Little good all this music does, no matter how much I sing
However many words I write on this page, I could never write you out of me
Take what you want from me
But when you’re done, could you at least have the courtesy to leave?
Maybe this is how it’s meant to be, maybe I’m meant to be alone
Because the only hearts I ever love I can never call my own
Little good all this music does, no matter how much I sing
However many words I write on this page, I could never write you out of me
