Breaking free from a toxic relationship requires immense courage and self-preservation. In this powerful narrative, Teddy Swims explores the emotional journey of ending a destructive relationship despite deep feelings of love. The singer describes being deceived and manipulated, watching his soul deteriorate while giving multiple chances to an undeserving partner. Through vivid metaphors and raw emotion, he illustrates the internal conflict between wanting to maintain the relationship and recognizing the necessity of walking away. The chorus emphasizes the paradoxical nature of this decision - while showing someone the door feels like it might be fatal, it actually becomes an act of self-salvation. The song resonates with anyone who has had to choose between personal well-being and a damaging love, ultimately celebrating the strength found in setting boundaries and choosing oneself.
The Door
Lyrics
I took a page out of your favorite book
You sold me lies just by the way you look
Taught me a language that I'll never speak
Baby, that ain't for me, that, that ain't for me
I dug my grave watchin' the way you move
You took me higher than I ever flew, ooh
Too many times, gave you a second chance
Baby, I'm just a man, I'm, I'm just a man
No more thinkin' about you late-night
No more runnin' around with your friends now
Done pickin' up pieces of my soul up off the floor, oh
I said I would die for you, baby
But I can't take this pain no more
I thought I was willin'
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
I don't wanna lose you, baby
But I can't play this game no more
I thought it would kill me
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
You never thought this day would ever come
But I looked you in the eyes and pulled the rug
You tried to take away my sanity
Baby, that ain't for me, that, that ain't for me
Oh, no more thinkin' about you late-night
No more runnin' around with your friends now
Done pickin' up pieces of my soul from off the floor, oh
I said I would die for you, baby
But I can't take this pain no more
I thought I was willin'
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
I don't wanna lose you, baby
But I can't play this game no more
I thought it would kill me
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
When I showed you the door
When I showed you the door
But tonight I saved my life
I said I would die for you, baby
But I can't take this pain no more
I thought I was willin'
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
I don't wanna lose you, baby (I don't wanna lose you, baby)
But I can't take this game no more (no more)
I thought it would kill me (I thought it would kill me)
But tonight I saved my life when I showed you the door
