Lock The Back Door

lock the back door, let him come in through the window
lock the back door, he gets in too easily
lock the back door, let him come in through the window
lock the back door, then just throw away the key

midnight and on my own, midnight and all alone
who was never lonely ? who was never lonely ?

and when you told me the way you were really feeling - you nearly broke my heart
you could have scraped my reactions right off the ceiling - you nearly broke my heart
you rolled it out in a way I was not expecting - you nearly broke my heart
the only thing that I felt was a cruel rejecting - you nearly broke my heart

lock the back door, let him come in through the window
lock the back door, he gets in too easily
lock the back door, let him come in through the window
lock the back door, then just throw away the key

midnight some hope and then, midnight alone again
who was never lonely ? who was never lonely ?

you should have left all the words that you said unspoken - you know you broke my heart
one million words won't repair what you now have broken - you know you broke my heart
you've set your course, you've set out and there's no returning - you know you broke my heart
you've stepped across, now look back and the bridge is burning - you know you broke my heart

lock the back door, let him come in through the window
lock the back door, he gets in too easily
lock the back door, let him come in through the window
lock the back door, then just throw away the key
