door number three demo

Sara Bareilles

Door number two
It s for you, little lady
Is it all that you dreamed of?
Oh, if I knew what had been there waiting
I d have screamed out and jumped up

Now here I am
With my feet on the sand
And a body that won t move
The tide s coming in
And I m bound for a swim
In a pair of cement shoes

He takes what he can, what he wants
Doesn t matter if it s ever been given
I took the bait and a chance on a man
Sold by the boy that he lived in

And I was wrong to believe that strength makes you strong
And I had hope in a change I would see in us both
And now I m heavy
He lifts me, but never once carried
Door number two, I ve already walked through

Ask me the question
Who coulda guessed I would be here at this crossroad?
Plain to be seen that it s all up to me
I m no longer alone, though

And nothing s changed
And I see it more every day
Nothing moves
It s a game to be played and to lose

And now I m heavy, unsteady
But maybe I m getting ready
And this might catch fire and char this ground

I might lift this up to only be the one
Who s gonna get let down
Will I be enough to get this on its way
To find some higher ground?
Before the waters rush, I ve got to make a change
Or else I know I ll drown

Baby, look around
Door number two, I ve already walked through
I wanna see what s behind door number three
