Sara Bareilles — Door Number Three

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