Exit Door Poem by Kitty Marie Lucas

How we feel
Won't change anything
Listen to the words
But dont believe
It's a contest to see
Who can care the least
It seems like lying is better


Oh, I couldn't survive and I can't abide
They burned that bridge
And what was on the other side
Three times over
That's right, said thrice...
Won't fool me
Like they did before
There's just a hollow heart
And an exit door
They burned that bridge
From then on I swore
There's just a hollow heart
And an exit door


Enigma lost to grand design
I swore I'd never fall for another line
It's a contest to see
Who can care the least
It seems like lying is better
Don't blame the bed
For what goes wrong
We're just going through the motions
He's playing long
He's just telling me all
He thinks I'd want him to say
Sooner or later
He'd do it anyway


Oh, I couldn't survive and I can't abide
They burned that bridge
And what was on the other side
Three times over
That's right, said thrice...
Won't fool me
Like they did before
There's just a hollow heart
And an exit door


Sentimentality is overrated
They say I'm hard to read
But they haven't turned the pages
They say I'm hard to read
It's hopeless to explain it
But I haven't been open in ages
It's all there between the lines
Don't promise me what isn't mine


Oh, I couldn't survive and I can't abide
They burned that bridge
And what was on the other side
Three times over
That's right, said thrice...
Won't fool me
Like they did before
There's just a hollow heart
And an exit door


You don't have to be the hero
Or play the nice guy
I wrote that off in another life
Don't ask me how I feel
When I know you don't care
Me and some silly expectations
Will get us nowhere


Oh, I couldn't survive and I can't abide
They burned that bridge
And what was on the other side
Three times over
That's right, said thrice...
Won't fool me
Like they did before
There's just a hollow heart
And an exit door
They burned that bridge
From then on I swore
There's just a hollow heart
And an exit door
I can't love you around my revenge ego
From here it doesn't matter where we go
Won't fool me
Like they did before
There's just a hollow heart
And an exit door
A hollow heart
And an exit door
