Lyrics
This time I've closed the door,
This time, the speaker has decisively closed the door on a relationship.
And I know that you'll be leaving,
Aware that the partner will be departing.
We've been through this before
Reflecting on past experiences of going through a similar situation.
But your looks can be deceiving,
Expressing skepticism about the sincerity of the partner's appearance.
You've made your mark on me,
The partner has left a lasting impression on the speaker.
It's plain as day to see,
The impact is evident and easily noticeable.
I treat you carefully but you don't
The speaker is cautious in their interactions, but the partner seems oblivious.
See me
Despite the speaker's careful treatment, the partner is indifferent.
Your world has got you wrapped around my neck
The partner's world is dominating and constricting the speaker's life.
I can hear you leaving,
Audible indication of the partner leaving.
Look at the mess you've left behind
Observation of the aftermath of the partner's departure, describing it as a mess.
I still hear you screaming
The lingering echoes of the partner's emotional outbursts are still present.
I hope you're gone for good this time
Expressing a desire for the partner to be permanently gone this time.
You never said goodbye,
The partner never formally said goodbye.
And that's ok with me,
The lack of a farewell is acceptable to the speaker.
This time I've locked the door,
Reiteration of closing the door, now with added emphasis on locking it.
And thrown away the key
Symbolic gesture of discarding any chance of reconciliation.
I don't have time for this, (endless apologies)
Expressing a lack of patience for apologies that seem never-ending.
It comes as no surprise that you don't see me
No surprise that the partner remains oblivious to the speaker's feelings.
Your world has got you wrapped around my neck
Reiteration of the partner's dominance in the speaker's life.
I can hear you leaving,
Repeating the audible departure, emphasizing the partner's leaving.
Look at the mess you've left behind
Reiterating the chaotic aftermath of the partner's departure.
I still hear you screaming
The echoes of the partner's emotional turmoil continue to resonate.
I hope you're gone for good this time
Expressing hope that the partner's departure is permanent this time.
This time I've closed the door,
Repeated closure of the door, emphasizing the finality of the decision.
We've been through this before,
Revisiting the familiarity of going through similar situations in the past.
You made your mark on me,
Reaffirming the lasting impact the partner has had on the speaker.
It's plain as day to see,
Reiterating the visibility of the impact.
I treat you carefully but you don't
Continued careful treatment by the speaker, yet the partner remains unaware.
See me
Emphasizing the partner's lack of awareness despite the speaker's efforts.
Your world has got you wrapped around my neck
Reiteration of the partner's dominating influence on the speaker's life.
I can hear you leaving,
Repeating the audible departure, underscoring the partner's leaving.
Look at the mess you've left behind
Reiterating the messy aftermath of the partner's departure.
I still hear you screaming
The persistent echoes of the partner's emotional turmoil.
I hope you're gone for good this time
Expressing the speaker's desire for a permanent departure of the partner.
