Hollow Frame 2 (Version 2)

Intro

Shh

Verse

Sunset on the pier where we used to stand

Salt air in my lungs from an empty hand

Your jacket's gone but I still know the way

Through the crowded streets of yesterday

I keep your keys in a hollow frame

A reminder of the love that we couldn't claim

Every morning, I turn them round and think

Pre-Chorus

Maybe someday I'll stop looking back

Maybe someday you'll come walking up that track

But until then, these keys stay mine

Chorus

This is where our story should have ended

Not on a doorstep with the blinds open out and bent

You said goodbye like it was just another night

Left me holding nothing but your hollow frame tonight

I'm still waiting for the sunrise to find you

Still trying to understand why we couldn't make it through

Verse

Four years gone, but I still hear the sound of your laughter

Ringing out across the water where our hearts crashed into splintered shattered

You said move on with your life and let go of the past

But my hands are empty now and this is not how it's gonna last

I keep your keys because they feel like a part of you

Even though every ring turns up nothing new

Every street we used to walk feels like an echo from a song I thought was over

Pre-Chorus

Maybe someday I'll stop looking back

Maybe someday you'll come walking up that track

But until then, these keys stay mine

Chorus

This is where our story should have ended

Not on a doorstep with the blinds open out and bent

You said goodbye like it was just another night

Left me holding nothing but your hollow frame tonight

I'm still waiting for the sunrise to find you

Still trying to understand why we couldn't make it through

Bridge

Maybe I don't need the whole of you to feel the ghost of what we used to be

Maybe in these keys is all the love that's left between us and me

Every lock turns, but no door opens up because this time I know exactly where you are

You're not moving forward, neither am I

Chorus

This is where our story should have ended

Not on a doorstep with the blinds open out and bent

You said goodbye like it was just another night

Left me holding nothing but your hollow frame tonight

I'm still waiting for the sunrise to find you

Still trying to understand why we couldn't make it through
