In the Doorway

in the doorway
half way in between
here and not here
you stand there wanting only one thing
we have different wants 
different desires
you wont stay close
just in the doorway
half way in between
here and not here
but this is not good enough for me
i dont want a half way man
a doorway stander
clear the doorway
your time is up
im not letting you hang around
my door anymore
clear the doorway
others want to come in
others want this place in my heart
your hogging something you dont want
so stop standing in my doorway
and block someones elses heart
