Too Late to Open the Door

[Verse 1]
You found me after all the vows
Were scattered in too many rooms
I gave away the parts of me
I should have saved to bring to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Now every promise has a name
Every door remembers blame

[Chorus]
How do I stay the good man I planned to be
If loving you makes somebody bleed?
You’re the life I should have chosen, right in front of me
And I’m boxed in by the hurt I’d leave
How do I love you without breaking what I swore?
I found the one—too late to open the door

[Verse 2]
I watch the years I might have had
Go walking past with your hand in mine
But I can’t call a clean beginning
When my old words are still alive

[Bridge]
I built this box with promises
And now the hinges hold me fast

[Final Chorus]
How do I stay the good man I planned to be
If loving you makes somebody bleed?
You’re the life I should have chosen, right in front of me
And I’m boxed in by the hurt I’d leave
I found the one—too late to open the door
