X(yz+1): This song is about finally reaching the end of your rope with someone who keeps promising to change but never does. Jessica has given him chance after chance, and now she’s done believing the promises. She doesn’t want another apology, another excuse, or another chance – she has just one wish left: he’s on the other side of her door.
ONE WISH LEFT:
You came knocking at my door again
With that same old look in your eyes
Said you’d made a change, said you’d learned your lesson
Said you hated all those goodbyes
I’ve heard that story more than once
I’ve watched those promises come and go
You always swear this time is different
But baby, I’ve heard that one before
You keep asking for another chance
Like chances grow on trees
But I’ve handed you so many
You’re running out of me
You keep asking for chances
So often your words are just a bore
I feel like I’m granting wishes
And I’ve got one wish left for sure
I don’t need another promise
I don’t need another lie
My only wish is simple
I want you on the other side
Of my door…
Yeah, the other side of my door
You used to say I was your angel
Then you went and grew some wings
Funny how you found the time to fly
While I was fixing everything
I took you back when I shouldn’t have
I believed you when I knew better
Every “baby, please” and “one more time”
Just made the chain a little tighter
You keep asking for another chance
Like I’m some wishing well
But I’ve got nothing left to give you
And I’ve finally got the nerve to tell
You keep asking for chances
So often your words are just a bore
I feel like I’m granting wishes
And I’ve got one wish left for sure
I don’t need another promise
I don’t need another lie
My only wish is simple
I want you on the other side
Of my door!
Maybe once I would’ve opened up
Maybe once I’d let you in
Maybe once I’d heard “I’m sorry”
And believed it all again
But somewhere between the heartbreak
And the woman I’ve become
I finally learned a little something—
Sometimes walking away
Is how you finally win.
So take your sorry
Take your promises
Take every “baby, I can change”
I’ve spent too many nights
Trying to make you right
When you were never gonna stay the same
You keep asking for chances
But honey, that well ran dry
I’ve granted every wish you made
Now I’m granting one of mine
I don’t need another promise
I don’t need another lie
My only wish is simple—
I want you on the other side!
THE OTHER SIDE OF MY DOOR!
You wanted one more chance…
Wish granted.
