Please leave the keys (and gently close the door)

I thought today had come a bit too early
I wake to find that you’re still living in my dreams
You took your clothes and took your time
To say the words you never said…except good-bye.
Please leave the keys and gently close the door.

Honesty was never hard between us
Apologies accepted right away
And you’re kind enough to tell my friends
‘It’s over’ over stories you made up.
Please leave the keys and gently close the door.

When did things begin to change for us?
You didn’t hide, you never lied, you never stole
Except my heart
Definitely made my world a better place.

When and how did you become the girl you are right now?
You’re not the same, you’re not the one that cherished me.
That hurt me preciously.

Tonight the phone is dead, I’m eating early
Before me pictures that you signed ‘eternally’
I poured the wine, made up my mind
To turn the light off you…and walk the dogs.
Please leave the keys and gently close the door
