When a child closes a door
And locks himself inside
Wonât answer anymore
What there was out there before
He sits there in the dark
He canât hear a thing
Donât matter to him now
Heâs bent there on his knees
He can hear the angels sing
But he ainât keeping score no more
You know it could be anything
When a child closes a door
When that child just turns away
Anything you got to say
He wonât answer anymore
It donât matter anyway
No one listens no one hears
Close his eyes he disappears
Drifting slowly through the night
The shadows wrapped around him tight
When it all becomes too hard the pain
Thereâs nothing left he can explain
Or that much now truly remains
He pulls himself across the floor
And at long length with his last strength
Pulls himself up on his knees
Turns the keys and locks the door
So donât bother shed no tear
Itâs too late when he still cared
There was never no one here
Just the way it all went down
And you canât take back what you never were
And I canât change the way I am
You canât pretend now what there never was
Like either of us gave a damn
And thereâs a world out there Iâm well aware
Might as well be fantasy
I live on this side of the door now
And thereâs nobody here but me
Nothing for you to see
So why donât you just leave me be
Why donât you all just leave me be
When a child closes a door
And locks himself inside
Wonât answer anymore
All there was out there before
He sits there in the dark
He canât hear a thing
Donât matter to him now
Heâs bent there on his knees
He can hear the angels sing
But he ainât keeping score no more
You know it could be anything
When a child closes a door
