Open The Door

[Verse 1]
You said the wrong thing
I took it like a stone
Held it in my pocket
Carried it home

I saw your tired face
Behind the words you threw
Maybe we were hurting
Before we knew

[Pre-Chorus]
What if we slow down?
What if we look again?
A wound can look like anger
When it needs a hand

[Chorus]
Open the door
Let the hurt fall through
Open the door
There's more in me and you
I can forgive
And I can let it heal
Open the door
That's how love turns real

[Verse 2]
The same old story
Kept us both so tight
Two locked fists at dinner
Two jaws in the night

But when you cried out
I heard the child in you
And every sharp thing spoken
Turned into truth

[Pre-Chorus]
What if we slow down?
What if we look again?
A wound can look like anger
When it needs a hand

[Chorus]
Open the door
Let the hurt fall through
Open the door
There's more in me and you
I can forgive
And I can let it heal
Open the door
That's how love turns real

[Bridge]
I don't want to win this
I just want us safe
I don't want your shame
I don't want my rage

So take my hand now
I'll take yours too
Mercy is a bridge
We can walk on through

[Chorus]
Open the door
Let the hurt fall through
Open the door
There's more in me and you
I can forgive
And I can let it heal
Open the door
That's how love turns real
