Back at Your Door

By: Maroon 5

From the moment the lights went off,
everything had changed.
Lie awake in an empty room,
in my head, it all feels the same.

Like the taste of the day you left
that still lingers on my breath.
And the dampness of tears that left
a stain where you had wept.

All alone with the negligee
that still hangs off of my bed.
I keep meaning to give it away
but I just leave it there instead.

No need to cry about it,
I cannot live without it;
every time I wind up back at your door.
Why do you do this to me?
You penetrate right through me
every time I wind up back at your door

Three more days 'til I see your face
I’m afraid it’s far too much.
Cook a meal and fix up the place;
dial your number, hang it up.

If I took you for granted,
I apologize for acting tough.
You’re my reason for living
and there’s no way I’m giving up.

Now every evening is a bitter fight
and I’m eating home alone on a Friday night.
I know what your friends say,
“You’re just wasting your love and time.”
I will never let you change your mind.

No need to cry about it,
I cannot live without it;
every time I wind up back at your door
Why do you do this to me?
You penetrate right through me
every time I wind up back at your door.
No need to cry about it,
I may just die without it;
every time I wind up back at your door.
Why do you do this to me?
You penetrate right through me
every time I wind up back at your door.
