'The Door Open' - Human Thoughts

The Door Open

When I came home and found the door open
And nothing much as I left it
I walked in and found the note you wrote me
And nothing has been the same since

You said I didn't listen - except when I wanted to
That I only kissed you when I wanted more - from you
And taking care of me was too much to swallow
Along with your pride went behind you the door

I looked upstairs and so many details -
The drawers that were empty and photographs gone -
Too many things not moved now but missing
All the things that made this a home

(chorus)

I came back down and noticed the kitchen
The recipe books and the best frying pans
The spices were gone and so was the rice
I thought more of this was mine

(chorus)

Then out back where the neighbors' kids play
Even the flowers have lost, all their blooms
I can't understand what happened that day
Nothing has been the same since

(chorus)

(repeat first verse)
