Oh I hear familiar sounds
Down the sidewalk
Gettin' closer with every step he takes
Lord I'm so afraid that if I look out the window
I'll be tempted
To repeat an old mistake

refrain:
Don't open that door
To an old memory
When he said goodbye
I locked it up tight
And threw out the key
I've stood here before
Lord I can't stand no more
Won't go there again
Heart don't let him in
Don't open that door

The stronger me has found
The will to fight it
But now he's gone
And the weaker side's in tears
Lord, it took so long to put the hurt behind me
If I don't look back
The past can't find me here

refrain

Won't go there again
Heart don't let him in
Don't you open that door
