    Story Behind the Song
    This is my attempt at understanding why a friend committed suicide by leaping from a bridge. Iā€™m trying to offer his

    Lyrics
    I am moving closer to the ledge,
    with a story from the bridge,
    of how I finally lost my edge,
    a word about her broken pledge


    She said ā€œleave,
    I donā€™t love you anymore
    Itā€™s not the same as before,
    I canā€™t forgive what you stand forā€
    With that she went and slammed the door

    Jesus, is that you knocking on my door?
    Well I donā€™t hear well anymore, my ears are ringing from before
    My true love slammed the door
    Slam the door, slam the door

    Hope & mercy,
    were you with me ever?
    with nothing ahead of me
    except this cold river

    Mercy, I canā€™t find you anywhere,
    seems no oneā€™s got some to spare
    must have vanished in thin air,
    checked the door and no oneā€™s there
    It just draws a big blank stare

    Slam the door, slam the door,
    slam the door

    Thereā€™s no moral to this poem
    and no words to sing along
    Iā€˜m embittered by the wrong,
    checking out, so long
    slam the door.
