Don’t Slam the Door Lyrics by Gemma Laurence

Crooked Heart

2019

[Verse 1]
We got so good at goodbyes
Train station platforms and telephone lines
Reciting our lines every night
I was afraid but I couldn’t say why
Oh I was afraid but I couldn’t say why
We rehearsed unbeknownst for the curtains to fall
I hung up your dead roses up on my wall
There’s always a farewell to follow hello
Oh we didn’t know, we didn’t know
[Pre-Chorus]
You said we’d always have memories
You and me, green-painted hallways
But I can’t think like that
I love you too much to hold you in the past
[Chorus]
So don’t slam the door
When you go darling, don’t slam the door
When you go darling, don’t slam the door
When you go darling, don’t slam the door
When you go darling, don't slam the door
[Verse 2]
Three times you almost flew up and away
All but the last I convinced you to stay
Walked back from the party, you gave me your coat
Don’t you recall, we were good at hellos
Don’t you recall, we were good at hellos
Was it my fault for moving away
Left you in the hills when I got on my plane?
I’ll always remember you waving goodbye
In my rearview mirror I started to cry
In my rearview mirror I started to cry
In my rearview mirror I started to cry
[Pre-Chorus]
You said we’d always have memories
You and me, green-painted hallway
But I can’t think like that
I love you too much to hold you in the past
[Chorus]
So don’t slam the door
When you go darling, don’t slam the door
When you go darling, don’t slam the door
When you go darling, don’t slam the door
When you go darling, don’t slam the door
