A House With No Door

Verse 1 You met me before the lesson, When my word still meant I’d stay. Back when telling you the truth Didn’t give you a place to aim.

I came with nothing up my sleeve, No hidden cards, no secret door. You kissed the skin beneath the armor, And taught me what the armor’s for.

Pre-Chorus 1 The more I let you see of me, The less you cared to look inside. You took the best I had to give, And treated it like borrowed time.

Chorus 1 You got me twice— First when I still believed in love. You got me twice— Then when I’d given up on love.

First time I gave you everything. Second time I named the price. Funny how you wanted me more When I stopped playing nice.

You got me twice.

Verse 2 You found me years after the lesson, Same face, a different man. No promises behind my kisses, No forever in my hands.

I left before the room turned honest. I never asked you to stay. The less I gave, the more you wanted. The more I left, the more you chased.

Pre-Chorus 2 When I held you close, you wandered. When I turned away, you stayed. You called my distance chemistry. I called it what you made of me.

Chorus 2 You got me twice— First when I still believed in love. You got me twice— Then when I’d given up on love.

First time you had all of me. Second time, you got one night. Funny how you held on tight When I stopped playing nice.

You got me twice.

Bridge You met me before the lesson. Then you met the man it made. Don’t tell me you love the armor— You were there when it took shape.

I can give you fire without a future. I can give you just one night. But the man who would have stayed forever Was the one you left behind.

Breakdown Once with love.

Once without it.

You got me twice.

Final Chorus You got me twice— First when I still believed in love. You got me twice— Then when I’d given up on love.

First time you broke the man who’d stay. Second time, you begged me for one night. Funny how you wanted me more When I stopped playing nice.

You got me twice.

Outro Once with love. Once without it.

You got me twice—

But you never got The same man twice.
