Closed Doors Lyrics

Closed doors
Speak softly so
They will not know the pain we bring to them
On a night like this
In a crowded place where its only you and me
Confess
No don't apologize
My time ain't worth your cryin' eyes
This time I realize that you aren't here for me
Spending all of my time on her,
Not you
The overwhelming smell
Of what you know is not your perfume
I guess it's how it's got to be
Can we just finish explaining
No I wont say
"Sorry"
We can't keep it up
Or work it out
I need a reason
Nothings different, I'm still bleeding
Turns out you were wrong
You're not that girl
I need someone who understands me
Cause I can't let this go
How many times can I say
"I never meant to hurt you"
We grown apart somehow,
Someway
I think it's time that you and I
Should just part looks forever
I don't even wanna look into your eyes
We can't keep it up or work it out
I need a reason
Nothings different, I'm still bleeding
Turns out you were wrong
You're not that girl
I need someone who understands me
Cause I can't let this go
We can't keep it up
Or work it out
I need a reason
Nothings different, I'm still bleeding
Turns out you were wrong
You're not that girl
I need someone who understands me
Cause I can't let this go
I can't let this go
I can't let this go.

Closed doors 
Speak softly so
They will not know the pain we bring to them
On a night like this 
In a crowded place where its only you and me
Confess
No don't apologize
My time ain't worth your cryin' eyes
This time I realize that you aren't here for me
Spending all of my time on her,
Not you
The overwhelming smell 
Of what you know is not your perfume
I guess it's how it's got to be
Can we just finish explaining
No I wont say 
"Sorry"
We can't keep it up
Or work it out
I need a reason
Nothings different, I'm still bleeding
Turns out you were wrong
You're not that girl
I need someone who understands me
Cause I can't let this go
How many times can I say
"I never meant to hurt you"
We grown apart somehow, 
Someway
I think it's time that you and I
Should just part looks forever
I don't even wanna look into your eyes
We can't keep it up or work it out
I need a reason 
Nothings different, I'm still bleeding
Turns out you were wrong
You're not that girl
I need someone who understands me 
Cause I can't let this go
We can't keep it up 
Or work it out
I need a reason 
Nothings different, I'm still bleeding
Turns out you were wrong
You're not that girl
I need someone who understands me 
Cause I can't let this go
I can't let this go
I can't let this go.

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.

it seems pretty straight forward, it's a song about breaking up.
