Frozen Doorstep

(hmm-mmm-mmm) The screen door swings and you’re gone again

Leaving me here with my oldest friend

Just me

and this hound dog on the floor

Staring at the dust by the kitchen door

And when the winter gets too cold for you to bear

You show up on my porch like you were always there

Giving me the shoulder,

acting so cold

But I still open up

before the story's told

Yeah, you leave me in the dirt

Come back and make it hurt But I still let you in

(I let you in again)

Fought this fight alone

with my dog by my side Through the hardest storms we took

the ride

She treats me like a stranger on my own front step

Breaking every promise that she ever kept But my hands get weak

when I look in her eyes

And I swallow down my pride

and all of her lies

Yeah, you leave me in the dirt

Come back and make it hurt But I still let you in

(I let you in

again) Fought this fight alone

with my dog by my side Through the hardest storms we took

the ride

Just me and my shadow,

and my dog on the rug Watching the doorway,

waiting for your shrug

Yeah, we fought it alone (mmm-hmm)
