The Door
Teddy Swims · I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1)
I took a page out of your favorite book
You sold me lies just by the way you look
Taught me a language that I've never speak
Baby, that ain't for me, that, that ain't for me
I dug my grave watchin' the way you move
You took me higher than I ever flew, ooh
Too many times, gave you a second chance
Baby, I'm just a man, I'm, I'm just a man
No more thinkin' about you late night
No more runnin' around with your friends now
Done pickin' up pieces of my soul up out the floor, oh, oh
I said I would die for you, baby
But I can't take this pain no more
I thought I was willin'
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
I don't wanna lose you, baby
But I can't play this game no more
I thought it would kill me
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
You never thought this day would ever come
But I looked you in the eyes and pulled the plug
You tried to take away my sanity
Baby, that ain't for me, that, that ain't for me
Oh, no more thinkin' about you late night
No more runnin' around with your friends now
Done pickin' up pieces of my soul up out the floor, oh, oh
I said I would die for you, baby
But I can't take this pain no more
I thought I was willin'
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
I don't wanna lose you, baby
But I can't play this game no more
I thought it would kill me
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
When I showed you the door
When I showed you the door
But tonight I saved my life
I said I would die for you, baby
But I can't take this pain no more
I thought I was willin'
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
I don't wanna lose you, baby (I don't wanna lose you, baby)
But I can't play this game no more (No more)
I thought it would kill me (I thought it would kill me)
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
Mm-hmm
Oh, oh, oh
You sold me lies just by the way you look
Taught me a language that I've never speak
Baby, that ain't for me, that, that ain't for me
I dug my grave watchin' the way you move
You took me higher than I ever flew, ooh
Too many times, gave you a second chance
Baby, I'm just a man, I'm, I'm just a man
No more thinkin' about you late night
No more runnin' around with your friends now
Done pickin' up pieces of my soul up out the floor, oh, oh
I said I would die for you, baby
But I can't take this pain no more
I thought I was willin'
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
I don't wanna lose you, baby
But I can't play this game no more
I thought it would kill me
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
You never thought this day would ever come
But I looked you in the eyes and pulled the plug
You tried to take away my sanity
Baby, that ain't for me, that, that ain't for me
Oh, no more thinkin' about you late night
No more runnin' around with your friends now
Done pickin' up pieces of my soul up out the floor, oh, oh
I said I would die for you, baby
But I can't take this pain no more

But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
I don't wanna lose you, baby
But I can't play this game no more
I thought it would kill me
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
When I showed you the door
When I showed you the door
But tonight I saved my life
I said I would die for you, baby
But I can't take this pain no more

But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
Mm-hmm
Oh, oh, oh
About The Door
"The Door" shows how a single track can carry a listener toward Teddy Swims's larger sound. Rather than relying on unsupported chart or album claims, a useful blurb can describe the recording in terms of feel: the shape of its hook, the pacing of the arrangement, and the attitude suggested by the title. Songs with concise titles often work because they leave room for the performance to define the meaning. In that sense, "The Door" is best treated as a focused listening point, a track whose value comes from mood, replayability, and the artist's recognizable presence.
