Cellar Door Lyrics

Haven't seen your face in weeks
And I don't miss what it does to me
An empty space fills with peace

And are you safe?
And are you sheltered?
Did you find your place?
I hope you're careful
because your name means nothing to me

I don't care to hear your song today
I don't wanna hear a single word you'd say
Your apologies are not for me
And all the effort you gave to me
Just let me waste away in peace

What'd you think that you could say
To make me think that it's okay
My peaceful place fills with space
And take a picture if you don't remember
An empty smile on a tired face
I know there's nothing left for you

And I don't care to hear your song today
I don't wanna hear a single word you'd say
Your apologies are not for me
And all effort you gave to me
Just let me waste away in peace

You said you'd wait for me
So, wait your turn
Because it never comes
It never comes

And I don't care to hear your song today
I don't wanna hear a single word you'd say
Your apologies are not for me
And all effort you gave to me
Just let me waste away in peace

Haven't seen your face in weeks
And I don't miss what it does to me
An empty space fills with peace

And are you safe?
And are you sheltered?
Did you find your place?
I hope you're careful
because your name means nothing to me

I don't care to hear your song today
I don't wanna hear a single word you'd say
Your apologies are not for me
And all the effort you gave to me
Just let me waste away in peace

And I don't care to hear your song today
I don't wanna hear a single word you'd say
Your apologies are not for me
And all effort you gave to me
Just let me waste away in peace

You said you'd wait for me
So, wait your turn
Because it never comes
It never comes

And I don't care to hear your song today
I don't wanna hear a single word you'd say
Your apologies are not for me
And all effort you gave to me
Just let me waste away in peace

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Cellar Door lyrics by Conversation, The

I couldn't figure out anything about this song for a really long time. I just didn't know what to think about the lyrics. Now, after listening to it over and over, I think that it's about an odd friendship. A girl or guy is in love with this guy (the songwriter, or the POV of the song), but it's clearly not reciprocated. In all honesty, the singer is getting sick of the person. The first couple lines, "Haven't seen your face in weeks, and I don't miss what it does to me." It seems like the guys is sick of being guilty for not feeling the same way as the person who's in love.
