doors

to take my heart and slam it hard
shows what it's worth to you
and all those tasteless words you said
well, you just can't un-do

but just beneath the dirty doors
you'll see it's now alive
the pain is gone and though i cry
my heart and soul are wise ...

when you decide to call again
and hear that ring that will not end
well, maybe you can just pretend ~
you dialed the numbers wrong.
