[Verse 1] Maybe I was wrong to hold the door For someone who never asked for more I gave my patience, gave my time Built a castle in a pantomime They walked on through without a glance Left me holding second chance I traced their shadow on the floor Maybe I was wrong to hold the door [Chorus] The world is spinning, vast and wide And I've been standing, stuck inside My own four walls of what-if’s grey Watching life just drift away I let the hinges rust with doubt While everything I loved checked out Maybe I was wrong to hold the door For someone who never asked for more [Verse 2] I used to think that kindness weighed In every step, in every phrase But they took the handle, took the key And never once looked back at me I’m learning now the door ain’t love It’s just a frame I’m standing above I gave my all to empty space And wore their absence on my face [Bridge] So let the wind blow through the crack Let the cold teach my spine to crack I’m done with waiting for a ghost To walk back in and be my host I’ll slam it shut, I’ll break the lock I’ll build a fire from the shock The world is spinning—watch me turn It’s time I finally learn to burn [Chorus] The world is spinning, vast and wide And I've been standing, stuck inside My own four walls of what-if’s grey Watching life just drift away I let the hinges rust with doubt While everything I loved checked out Maybe I was wrong to hold the door For someone who never asked for more [Outro] Maybe I was wrong Maybe I was wrong But now I’m stepping out And the door is gone.
