Last Open Door

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You wore my name like smoke Then let it drift away I kept the house alive You kept your words away You’d come home hungry I’d give you all I had You loved the taste of me Then left me where you laughed [Pre-Chorus] I knew your kind of wanting I knew my kind of stay You couldn’t give me forever I couldn’t walk away [Chorus] You miss me when I’m gone (when I’m gone) You miss me when I’m gone I was your whole night You were my last open door You miss me when I’m gone (when I’m gone) You miss me when I’m gone I was your whole life You were just wanting more [Verse 2] You only came to hold me When your hands came up empty When the room got cold You finally looked at me And I was always there Like I’d always be You took my fire for granted Now you’re staring at the seam [Pre-Chorus] We knew each other’s damage We wore it like a chain You asked me back to nothing I still came back again [Chorus] You miss me when I’m gone (when I’m gone) You miss me when I’m gone I was your whole night You were my last open door You miss me when I’m gone (when I’m gone) You miss me when I’m gone I was your whole life You were just wanting more [Bridge] Now you knock too late On a room that’s sealed Now you call my name But the lock won’t yield You can’t change your hands I can’t change my heart We loved like hunger Then we split apart [Final Chorus] You miss me when I’m gone (when I’m gone) You miss me when I’m gone I was your whole night You were my last open door You miss me when I’m gone (when I’m gone) You miss me when I’m gone I was your whole life And now you’ve got no more
