"The Door"
And I know that all the exit signs are pointing toward the door
 But I close my eyes ‘cuz I just don’t want to see.
 The clock is ticking, I’m on borrowed time
 I should leave before it rings
 But even so I love this borrowed time
 And all the pleasure that it brings.
 They say he’ll tear apart my heart
 And leave me there to bleed
 But this shuddering heart’s addicted
 And it’s only him I need.
 Him to hold me in his arms
 Is all this weak soul’s living for
 And the fake promises I love to hear him say.
 Surely this love can’t do me much more harm
 I’ll pay whatever price I have to pay
 For one more kiss, one more touch
 For you to stay with me one more day.
 I guess eventually he’ll use me and abuse me
 Leave me bruised and broken on the floor
 But as long as he says he loves me
 I’ll keep coming back for more.
 As for now, my heart’s content
 These “maybes” don’t matter anymore
 ‘Cuz as long as he’s holding me in his arms
 I’m not moving toward that door.
