And the word says, you never gonna find me there, oh no
There's a meanin' but you're not listenin' any more
There's no water that can wash away this longin' to come clean
There's a feelin' but you're not feelin' it at all
Seems you never realize a good thing till it's gone
I've got an open door, it didn't get there by itself
It takes strength to live this way, the same old madness everyday
And if you let me I might try to make you stay
It's a dark road and a dark way that leads to my house
I look at that open road, I'm gonna walk there by myself

It didn't get there by itself
All the fires of destruction are still burnin' in my dreams

I can't find the joy within in my soul, it's just sadness takin' hold
It didn't get there by itself

Maybe I'm still searchin' but I don't know what it means
You know I can't be here too long
I wanna come in from the cold and make myself renewed again

And if you catch me, I might try to run away
I've got an open door, it didn't get there by itself
I wanna kick these blues away, I wanna learn to live again
