Back when I needed a hand,
Like Maradona
They told me to sprint
But all along it was a marathon
Well I’m out of shape
So I can’t hope for second place
You had it all
I hit a wall before I graduated
(Chorus)
I close every door
When things get bad,
I run and hide
I close every door
It’s no surprise
I do it out of spite,
Yes I do it out of spite
You found someone new
I went to Peru, to visit my roots
You thought I’d come crawling back to you
Don’t worry I thought I would too
At least you’re doing good
Yeah you’re doing oh so good
I’m doing me
Evidently I am sad and lonely
(Bridge)
Mama I love you and
Daddy I miss you and
I am so sorry that
I am so distant but
That’s how you raised me and
I wish you could see me now
Darling I need you wait
No I do not need you, I
Walk out the door but
You can see right through me
I would be anything you wanted from me
You got my heart girl set it free
(Chorus)
I close every door when things get bad I run and hide (x8)
