A New Door Lyrics

I can see that look in your eyes
You're in need of something you can't find
You're tired of holding on to the pain
You haven't got the strength to hold the reigns
You are out of lane

I know you can't take it
I know you can't take it anymore
I know you can't fake it
I know you can't fake it anymore
Now it's time for you to open a new door

You fool yourself when you live a lie
You spend all of your time getting high
But drunken nights won't bury your fears
All the drinks you had just turned to tears
For too many years

I know you can't take it

I know you can't take it anymore
I know you can't fake it
I know you can't fake it anymore
Now it's time for you to open a new door

When you think that nobody cares
Close your eyes and know that God is there
And if you reach out He'll do the same
Just ask for what you need in Jesus name
Don't be ashamed

I know you can't take it
I know you can't take it anymore
I know you can't fake it
I know you can't fake it anymore
Now it's time for you to open a new door

Now it's time for you to open a new door

Again

Fly Away

I'll Be Waiting

Are You Gonna Go My Way?

Lady

I can see that look in your eyes
You're in need of something you can't find
You're tired of holding on to the pain
You haven't got the strength to hold the reigns
You are out of lane

I know you can't take it
I know you can't take it anymore
I know you can't fake it
I know you can't fake it anymore
Now it's time for you to open a new door

You fool yourself when you live a lie
You spend all of your time getting high
But drunken nights won't bury your fears
All the drinks you had just turned to tears
For too many years

I know you can't take it

I know you can't take it anymore
I know you can't fake it 
I know you can't fake it anymore
Now it's time for you to open a new door

When you think that nobody cares
Close your eyes and know that God is there
And if you reach out He'll do the same
Just ask for what you need in Jesus name
Don't be ashamed

I know you can't take it
I know you can't take it anymore
I know you can't fake it
I know you can't fake it anymore
Now it's time for you to open a new door

Now it's time for you to open a new door

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.

For me this song is about someone who is incurably ill and who finally has to let go of life because the pain is becoming to much to bear. Someone very close tries to reassure this person that it is ok to let loose ... with comforting words about God who's waiting behind the door. The feeling & message in this song is so strong that it leaves me each time with tears in my eyes. I'm sure that other people who have been through similar situations know very well what I'm talking about ... a very sad feeling but also somehow comforted knowing that there is an end to the suffering of your loved one.
