lyrics

Walking Into Doors by Jamie R Hawkins

He'll cover you with kisses and he'll smother you with lies
And you'll see him through the bruises of your blue and blackened eyes
And he'll always be predictable and you'll always be surprised
But you'll forgive him for he knows not what he does

He'll tell you that he's guilty as he blames you for it all
But he's always there to pick you up, though it's him who made you fall
And he'll ask for your permission as he pins you to the wall
But you'll forgive him for he knows not what he does

And when you're crying in the kitchen
And he's calling you a bitch and
You don't know what you're apologising for
To you it doesn't seem to matter
That you're the woman who keeps walking into doors

You never wonder what you did to make him mad at you today
And it wouldn't make a difference, you deserve it anyway
And he's only doing what his father taught him yesterday,
But you'll forgive him for he knows not what he does

Do you remember when I told you you'd be better off alone?
You just smiled and said "there's more to him,
Than just blood and broken bone.
And in many ways he gives you more than I could ever know,
So forgive him for he knows not what he does
He's your father boy, he knows not what he does

But you're still crying in the kitchen
And he's calling you a bitch and
Everyday it's getting harder to ignore
Because to me it really matters
That you're the woman who keeps walking into doors
You're the woman who keeps walking into doors
You're the woman who keeps walking into doors
You keep walking into doors
Don't keep walking into doors
Please stop walking into doors
