i gave you your own room
right next to mine
a closet, closed and locked tight
i've got the key to open whenever
but i don't let anyone else in

you have your own key
i made you a house key too
your very own copy
doesnt get as much use now
but more than i thought

the trouble is
and i didnt realize it at the time
but when i gave you the house key
i was saying the door is always open
you can come back any time
and either fix things up
or destroy everything

you have it now
i already gave it to you
and i cant change the locks
