Closing the Openess

Don't speak to me
I won't believe you
You lied to me
I won't deceive you

Don't tell me secrets
I don't want to know
Don't let me in
Just let me go

Close the door
You cannot stay
Leave me alone
Walk away

Don't look at me
I stare right through you
You didn't see
I will not use you

Don't share the tears
I won't watch you cry
Turn around
Just say goodbye

Close the door
You cannot stay
Leave me alone
Walk away

Don't reach to touch
You cannot feel me
It costs too much
What should be free

No open arms
With which to hold
The pain inside
I will not show

Close the door
You cannot stay
Leave me alone
Walk away
