Shut the Door

(Paulina Logan)
written by Paulina Logan
Shut the door when you leave
Don’t have time for your pleas
Your excuses and abuses are the same to me

You always want to know more
You always want to see
I hate to be the one to tell you
You already know more than me
I don’t ask too many questions
Lies follow so easily
I learn by watching
Have you found what you want from me

Shut the door when you leave
Don’t have time for your pleas
Your excuses and abuses are the same to me

If I’m not what you expected
I don’t have to apologize
I’m not the one who fed you
All of those lies
And you’re the one who thinks you’re everything
As if that evens the score
Please don’t tell me what I owe you
You owe me far more

Shut the door when you leave
Don’t have time for your pleas
Your excuses and abuses are the same to me

My heart is on my sleeve
I wear it so well
Time will be the one to tell on me

Shut the door when you leave
Don’t have time for your pleas
Your excuses and abuses are the same to me
