Lyric

We counted cracks along the wall

Like they could lead us anywhere

Your hand was cold, the room was small

The hallway waited like a dare

A key lay quiet by the glass

A little joke we kept believing

We said the night would have to pass

But even dawn looked like a ceiling

I touched the frame, I called it fate

You smiled like fear had learned your face

We tried to leave, we tried to care

But the door was never there

The door was never there

No silver line, no hidden stair

Just your breath in the bitter air

And my name caught in your hair

The door was never there

We made a world and called it fair

Two soft ghosts in a white-lit square

Looking for light that wasn’t there

The city blinked beyond the pane

Too far to touch, too late to save us

We wore our love like borrowed shame

And called the damage something sacred

Your shadow leaned against my own

Until the floor forgot our edges

No outside voice, no ringing phone

Just little lies in quiet ledgers

I found the lock, I found the chain

I found the shape of our mistake

You said escape was in the air

But the door was never there

The door was never there

No silver line, no hidden stair

Just your breath in the bitter air

And my name caught in your hair

The door was never there

We made a world and called it fair

Two soft ghosts in a white-lit square

Looking for light that wasn’t there

Maybe we built this room too well

Maybe the walls learned how to need us

Maybe the exit was a spell

We only said so it would keep us

If there is sky beyond this place

Let it forget our little weather

I held your face, you held my waste

And we mistook the end for shelter

The door was never there

No final turn, no answered prayer

Just two hearts in the thinning air

Too tired to call it despair

The door was never there

We made a world and left it bare

You looked at me, I looked elsewhere

And still, the room kept us there
