UNSELF — Three Knocks (Official Lyric Video)

Some doors are meant to stay closed. Even when you hear the knocking. Dive into the dark, cinematic atmosphere of "Three Knocks" — a story about waiting, toxic ties, and the hardest thing to do: walking away. Lyrics: I still love you. I'm still not going back. Three knocks. I knew them from the stairs. I didn't have to ask who's there. You stood there, soaking, in the hall, My old key shaking in your palm. You said, "I got it wrong. I know." My hands still knew where yours should go. I held the frame. I held my breath. I held on to what I had left. My hands said, "Stay." My feet said, "Run." I stood there. Neither one had won. You said, "Please." I said your name. And nothing in my voice was blame. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT I'm scared to try. If I let you in tonight, I'd lose you every night. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT I'm not the same. I'd hold my breath through every day And wait for you to walk away. I still love you. I'm still not going back. I still love you. I'm still not going back. That winter, I kept both sides made. Your pillow cold. Your toothbrush stayed. I kept your number. Never called. Just read it back, and that was all. You said, "This time I'll get it right." I said, "I know. I think you might." But every time you'd grab your coat, I'd feel that winter in my throat. You said, "Just try." I said, "I can't. I let you go with my own hands." You said, "But why?" I didn't lie: "Because I couldn't do it twice." IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT I'm scared to try. If I let you in tonight, I'd lose you every night. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT I'm not the same. I'd hold my breath through every day And wait for you to walk away. I still love you. I'm still not going back. I still love you. I'm still not going back. Someday someone's gonna find you, Leave the hallway light on late, Learn the way you knock three times, And never make you wait. And I'll be glad. I swear I'll be glad. I'll be glad it's not me... I'll be glad... it's not me. DON'T ASK ME TWICE. YOU KNOW I'D FOLD. I'D OPEN UP AND LET IN ALL THE COLD. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT I'm scared to try. I loved you then. I love you now. That's why I say goodbye. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT I'm not the same. Go find someone who leaves the light on And never makes you wait. I still love you. I'm still not going back. I hope you're happy. Just not with me. I closed the door. I left it unlocked. I stood there listening Till the footsteps stopped. — All music, lyrics, and visuals by UNSELF. #unself #threeknocks #posthardcore #alternativemetal #cinematicmetal #metalcore #lyricvideo
