Sara Bareilles - Door Number Three Lyrics
(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
(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
