This is the back door to my heart
Oh, but don't you tell a soul
That I've given you the key
To these rooms inside of me
Don't you let nobody know

This is the color of my pain
Dusty blue of midnight rain
I might be askin' for too much
Hopin' somehow with your touch
You could make these colors fade

The end of the world might
Be just around the corner
Might be knockin' at my door
This could all be gone by mornin'
If you'd only step inside me
Take a candle to the dark
This is the back door to my heart

See these lines on my face
From too lang standin' in the wind
A testament to my mistakes
Choices that I've made
I won't tell you where I've been

The end of the world might
Be just around the corner
Might be knockin' at my door
This could all be gone by mornin'

If you'd only step inside me
Take a candle to the dark
This is the back door to my heart
This is the back door to my heart
