Keep the Door Open

Gotye, Kris Schroeder

[Verse 1]
Woman, can you tell me
What it is to love someone?
Without the getting-older
I'd be wiser than I was
Every time I get close to you
I end up right back at the start
So, woman, can you tell me
What it is to love and be loved by someone?

[Verse 2]
Woman, can you hear me?
'Cause you know the mess I've made
This pain you got me goin' through
Is like the ghost of what could have been
And I look out for a sign
Something to tell me I'm getting through to you
But you close your eyes
And, woman, I can't open them for you

[Pre-Chorus]
So it's time I went away
It's time I gave you space
It's time I gave myself the chance
To find some piece of mind some day

[Chorus]
I'll keep the door open for ya
If you ever find a way to make it back to me some day
I'll keep the door open for ya
'Cause there's fire that burns inside, and a love I cannot hide
I'll keep the door open for ya

[Verse 3]
Woman, can I ask you
Do you regret the things you said?
I could never leave you, nor forsake you
And there's no bitterness from my end
But can you acknowledge one thing before I go
There's something special in what we had
I know it's hard to see it now, woman
But it'll work out in the end

[Pre-Chorus]
So it's time I went away
It's time I gave you space
It's time I gave myself the chance
To find some piece of mind some day

[Chorus]
I'll keep the door open for ya
If you ever find a way to make it back to me some day
I'll keep the door open for ya
'Cause there's fire that burns inside, and a love I cannot hide
I'll keep the door open for ya
If you ever find a way to make it back to me some day
I'll keep the door open for ya
