The Other Side of the Door (Taylor's Version)

In the heat of the fight, I walked away

Ignoring words that you were saying, trying to make me stay

I said, "This time I've had enough"

And you've called a hundred times, but I'm not pickin' up

'Cause I'm so mad, I might tell you that it's over

But if you look a little closer

I said, "Leave", but all I really want is you

To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles

Screaming, "I'm in love with you"

Wait there in the pourin' rain, come back for more

And don't you leave, 'cause I know

All I need is on the other side of the door

Me and my stupid pride, sittin' here alone

Going through the photographs, staring at the phone

I keep going back over the things we both said

And I remember the slammin' door and all the things that I misread

So, babe, if you know everything, tell me, why you couldn't see

That when I left, I wanted you to chase after me? Yeah

I said, "Leave", but all I really want is you

To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles

Screaming, "I'm in love with you"

Wait there in the pourin' rain, come back for more

And don't you leave, 'cause I know

All I need is on the other side of the door

And I scream out the window, I can't even look at you

I don't need you, but I do, I do, I do

I said, "There's nothing you can say to make this right again

I mean it, I mean it," but what I mean is

I said, "Leave", but, baby, all I want is you

To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles

Screaming, "I'm in love with you"

Wait there in the pourin' rain, come back for more

And don't you leave, 'cause I know

All I need is on the other side of the door

With your face and the beautiful eyes

And the conversation with the little white lies

And the faded picture of a beautiful night

You carry me from your car up the stairs

And I broke down cryin', was she worth this mess?

After everything and that little black dress

After everything, I must confess I need you
