Songfacts®:

  • This song tells the story about a woman who kills herself. Her ghost comes back to the house where her husband still lives. She starts closing and opening doors and windows: "I hear a creaking through the door, I see you seeping through the floor." She is trying to tell him that she is sorry. He tells her that he wants to move on with his life: "It's not easy asking you to leave." >>
