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
