Door Number Three Songtext
von Sara Bareilles

Door number two
It′s for you, little lady
Is it all that you dreamed of?
Oh, if I knew what'd 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

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
