I challenged myself to write lyrics for a ballad about unrequited love (how cliched, I know) and these are the lyrics I came up with.

Behind Closed Doors
(S. Telford)

Another sleepless night in a bed that's made for two
I just lay awake there and made a wish for you
Another endless ache with a pain that won't subside
I just bit my lip with a truth trying to hide.

Behind closed doors I pray for love
I need that light when things get rough
Behind those doors I need your love
'Cause dreams of you aren't real enough
I need a helping hand
Darling please understand
Behind closed doors I pray for love
Behind those doors I need your love.

Another empty bed on a night that's oh so cold
I just lay there frozen with nobody to hold
Another endless silence keeps ringing in my ear
I listened to it closely wishing you were here

Behind closed doors I pray for love
I need that light when things get rough
Behind those doors I need your love
'Cause dreams of you aren't real enough
I need a helping hand
Darling please understand
Behind closed doors I pray for love
Behind those doors I need your love.

Behind closed doors there's a broken heart
Behind those doors is where I fall apart

Behind closed doors I pray for love
I need that light when things get rough
Behind those doors I need your love
'Cause dreams of you aren't real enough
I need a helping hand
Darling please understand
Behind closed doors I pray for love
Behind those doors I need your love.
