I shouldn't have left without saying "I love you"
But I could have left without causing a scene
Both of them in tears on the couch
And me, tired, poorly shaven
I got up, and shut the doorI left my toothbrush with yours
The one I used on the weekends
And I didn't have the courage to take it away
When I saw yours next to mine
I got up, and shut the doorI shut the door (X5)
I had to go
I shut the doorNow I'm writing you from my hotel
The months have passed and I've got stories to tell
But I never stopped thinking
About your hair on my pillow
When I got up, I shut the doorAnd if ever a good wind brings us back together
And we see each other in a distant life
If you hesitate to approach me
Know that I am a changed man
That will not get up and shut the doorThat is, I have had the time to regret
The night that I left you
When I left and I shut the doorI shut the door (X5)
I had to go
I shut the door
