Behind Closed Doors

I close the door — I won't turn back, I won't ask you to stay with me. You're not mine, though my heart cracks, I'm just a shadow on the map, you see. You chose her — and that's the call, I don't argue, I accept. But tears won't make me break and fall, Though I'm broken, I'm not yet swept. Chorus: The winner isn't me — I'm sinking low, But I won't drown — I'll learn to grow. You're hers, and I'm no one's now, But I whisper: "Breathe, survive somehow." One day I'll see the light ahead, And you won't live inside my head. You're not mine, and I'm not yours, I'll learn to live behind closed doors. --- I'll burn your voice like dry old leaves, Inside — a fire, outside — ice. I promise I'll stay whole, believe, Though nothing inside feels alive or nice. You chose her — so let it be, I'm not searching for the blame. I'll trade my love for memory, And grow quieter than the evening flame. Chorus: The winner isn't me — I'm sinking low, But I won't drown — I'll learn to grow. You're hers, and I'm no one's now, But I whisper: "Breathe, survive somehow." One day I'll see the light ahead, And you won't live inside my head. You're not mine, and I'm not yours, I'll learn to live behind closed doors. --- I'm not the winner, but I'm not burned, I'm still here, I've stood up straight. Without you — I'm different, I've returned, Though inside it all froze too late.
