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)
