Do you regret the things you said
I could never leave you nor forsake you
And there's no bitterness from my end
But can you acknowledge one thing before I go
There's something special in what we had
I know it's hard to see it now woman
But it'll work out in the end
So it's time I went away
It's time I gave you space
It's time I gave myself the chance 
to find some piece of mind some day
I'll keep the door open for you
If you ever find a way to make it back to me some day
I'll keep the door open for you
'Cause a fire burns inside, and a love I cannot hide
I'll keep the door open for you
If you ever find a way to make it back to me some day
I'll keep the door open for you
