Sara Bareilles - Door Number Three lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Door number two

It's for you, lil lady

Is it all that you dreamed of?

How, if I knew, would've been there waitin'

I'd have screamed out and jumped up

(Pre-Chorus)

Now here I am

With my feet on the sand

And a body that won't move

The tide's comin' in

And I'm bound for a swim

In a pair of cement shoes

(Verse 2)

He takes what he can, what he wants

Doesn't matter if it's eva been given

I took the bait and a chance on a man

Sold by the boy that he lived in

(Chorus)

And I was wrong to believe that strength makes you strong

And I had hope in a change I would see in us both

And now I'm heavy

And he lifts me, but neva once carried

Door number two I've already walked thru'

(Verse 3)

Ask me the question

Who coulda guessed I'd be here at this crossroad?

Plain to be seen that it's all up to me

I'm no longer alone, tho'

[Chorus]

Nothing's changed

And I see it more every day

Nothin' moves

It's a game to be played and to lose

(Bridge)

And now I'm heavy, unsteady, but maybe I'm gettin' ready

And this might catch fire and char this ground

I might lift this up, to only be the one who's goin' to get let down

Will I be enough to get this on its way to find some higher ground?

Before the waters rush, I've got to make a change or else I know I'll drown

(Outro)

Baby, look around

Door number two I've already walked thru'

I wanna see what's behind door number three
