[Intro] Mommy, don't leave me here The door keeps breathing near Small feet in the hall And the box starts to call [Verse 1] Blanket on my knees Shivers like a scared-up hand I hid the key in crumbs By the red chair leg in sand Something taps my glass Three knocks, then four I won't look at the seam At the bottom of the door [Pre-Chorus] If I stay very still Maybe it moves away If I hold my breath too long Maybe it forgets my name [Chorus] Don't open the door Don't open the door I'm small, I'm small And it's waiting there Don't open the door Don't open the door If you hear my cry Please stay close by [Verse 2] The music box spins on With its cracked-up tune The painted ballerina Points straight at the moon I saw my teddy move Just an inch, then stop Now the room's four corners Feel like they might drop [Pre-Chorus] If I stay very still Maybe it moves away If I hold my breath too long Maybe it forgets my name [Chorus] Don't open the door Don't open the door I'm small, I'm small And it's waiting there Don't open the door Don't open the door If you hear my cry Please stay close by [Bridge] The box wound itself up Now the room feels colder I saw my shadow stand up On the wall by the sofa If this is a dream Wake me up now Wake me up now Wake me up somehow [Final Chorus] Don't open the door Don't open the door I'm small, I'm small And it's waiting there Don't open the door Don't open the door If you hear my cry Please stay close by
