The Door Lyrics

[Verse 1] I took a page out of your favorite book You sold me lies just by the way you look Taught me a language that I'd never speak Baby, that ain't for me, that, that ain't for me I dug my grave watchin' the way you move You took me higher than I ever flew, ooh Too many times, gave you a second chance Baby, I'm just a man, I'm, I'm just a man [Pre-Chorus] No more thinkin' about you late night No more runnin' around with your friends and I'm Done pickin' the pieces of my Soul up off the floor, oh, oh [Chorus] I said I would die for you, baby But I can't take this pain no more I thought I was willin' But tonight, I saved my life when I showed you the door I don't wanna lose you, baby But I can't play this gamе no more I thought it would kill me But tonight, I saved my lifе when I showed you the door See Teddy Swims Live Get tickets as low as $60 You might also like Sticky Tyler, The Creator Timeless The Weeknd & Playboi Carti The Tortured Poets Department Taylor Swift [Verse 2] You never thought this day would ever come But I looked you in the eyes and pulled the rug You tried to take away my sanity Baby, that ain't for me, that, that ain't for me [Pre-Chorus] Oh, no more thinkin' about you late night No more runnin' around with your friends and I'm Done pickin' the pieces of my Soul from out the floor, oh, oh [Chorus] I said I would die for you, baby But I can't take this pain no more I thought I was willin' But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door I don't wanna lose you, baby But I can't play this game no more I thought it would kill me But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door [Post-Chorus] When I showed you the door When I showed you the door But tonight, I saved my life [Chorus] I said I would die for you, baby But I can't take this pain no more I thought I was willin' But tonight, I saved my life when I showed you the door I don't wanna lose you, baby (I don't wanna lose you, baby) But I can't play this game no more (No more) I thought it would kill me (I thought it would kill me) But tonight, I saved my life when I showed you the door [Outro] Mm-mm-mm Woah, oh, oh

Meaning of The Door

The song is a raw and emotional ballad about a relationship that has become overwhelmingly painful for the narrator. He expresses regret for allowing himself to be consumed by love and acknowledges the immense suffering it has caused him. The 'showing you the door' motif represents a decisive act of self-preservation—a final, desperate attempt to escape a toxic situation and save his own life.
