Behind Closed Doors - Josie Charlwood

Maybe I would say to you

Everything I wanted to

But you’re halfway out the door

I wish that I could say to you

Everything I wanted to

You don’t listen anymore

We haven’t spoken since, that envelope I found untorn

I wasn’t proud of what I saw

We haven’t spoken since that letter that I found on the floor

I don’t read it through anymore

Now everything has changed

Remember when I wanted you, I needed you

I knew that it would make me pay

I thought that we could make it through 'cause you could choose

I didn’t wanna turn away

Even though I needed to, I needed you more

I needed you more

Walking out to school each day

Helped me take my mind away

From destruction I called my own

You called me a waste of time

I offered up this heart of mine

When you told me you felt alone.

Maybe you were right, the times you told me I should leave

I had faith in you wanting what was the best for me

Maybe you were right, you shouted at me, face pasty-white

I learned to recognise you from the state of your eyes.

Now everything has changed

Remember when I wanted you, I needed you

I knew that it would make me pay

I thought that we could make it through 'cause you could choose

I didn’t wanna turn away

Even though I needed to, I needed you more

I needed you more

You got a substance heart

A substance mind

It tears you apart, it takes all your time

You got a substance heart

An infected mind

It tears me apart, to watch you turn to white

To watch you turn to white

It was no fault of mine.

Things have changed

Remember when I wanted you, I needed you

I knew that it would make me pay

I thought that we could make it through when you could choose

I didn’t wanna turn away

Even though I needed to, I needed you more

I needed you more.
