Intro
Verse 1
She went to church, she was from the 'burbs
When she
passed, all the heads turned
I'm from New York, rode a skateboard and camped
out on a corner
She and I didn't see eye to eye on
politics and such
But when I tell you, oh, none of that mattered
When we
got together, it was love
Pre-Chorus
I saw her at her worst, still, I desired her
I learned to read her eyes and know when she would lie
I watched her start to hate me 'til she could no longer
take me, oh-oh-oh
Chorus
She
locked the door, but she left the key under the
mat
Oh, and I've
known this for a while, but I am
still too afraid to
act
Oh, and it's coming off the hinges, from the wall, it has de
tached
Oh, and I've
known this for a while, but I am
still too afraid to
act
Verse 2
We moved into a shoebox out of
school and it felt like a honeymoon
She'd go to work while I made my songs
For a
moment there, it was just us two
Pre-Chorus
I saw her at her worst, still, I desired her
I learned to read her eyes and know when she would lie
I watched her start to hate me 'til she could no longer
take me, oh-oh-oh
Chorus
She
locked the door, but she left the key under the
mat
Oh, and I've
known this for a while, but I am
still too afraid to
act
Oh, and it's coming off the hinges, from the wall, it has de
tached
Oh, and I've
known this for a while, but I am
still too afraid to
act

Chorus
She locked the door,
but she left the key under the
mat
Oh, and I've

Oh, and it's coming off the hinges, from the wall, it has de
