Lyrics

Shades of summer out my window

Reflecting on a bright summer scene outside the window.

But l'm cold and grey inside

Despite the external warmth, feeling cold and gray internally.

The only warmth I feel

Expressing warmth only through memories of the past relationship.

Is from the ghost of you and I

Feeling connected to the ghostly presence of the former partner.

I should probably leave the comfort

Contemplating leaving the comfort of the shared bed.

Of the bed we used to share

A desire to sleep persists despite the absence of the partner.

But I just want to sleep when you're not here

A struggle to move on from the past relationship.


Did everything wrong

Admitting to making mistakes and taking responsibility.

I know I'm to blame

Recognizing personal fault in the relationship's downfall.

But now that you're gone, Nothing makes sense

Feeling a sense of confusion and emptiness after the partner's departure.


My heart is a door

Metaphorically describing a closed heart that refuses to open.

That doesn't open anymore

Expressing a reluctance to explore what lies beyond the closed heart.

And I don't want to know what's on the other end. Watch it warp, watch it rust

Symbolizing the deterioration of the emotional connection.

Oh, I can't help but keep it shut

Unable to open up due to emotional pain and distress.

'Cause the key's still hanging 'round your neck

The key to emotional healing is associated with the departed partner.


I said words that came between us. Things I wish I could take back

Regretting words spoken that caused a rift in the relationship.

The unstable mess inside me

Internal turmoil affecting the best relationship ever experienced.

Hurt the best I'll ever have

Expressing regret for moments that led to the separation.

I regret all of those moments

The future appears uncertain and unclear without the partner.

That split our path in two

My future seems so blurry without you

Reflecting on a dreamlike state, yearning for a reconciliation.


I'm caught in a trance, Dreaming of us

Is there still a chance, To fix what I broke

Desiring a second chance to mend the mistakes made in the past.


My heart is a door

Reiteration of a closed heart, reluctant to open up again.

That doesn't open anymore

Avoiding the knowledge of what may come after reopening emotionally.

And I don't want to know what's on the other end. Watch it warp, watch it rust

Visualizing the emotional decay and corrosion.

Oh, I can't help but keep it shut

Struggling to open up due to the lingering pain.

'Cause the key's still hanging 'round your neck

Connection to the partner symbolized by the key still with them.


Would you let me prove

Expressing a desire for a chance to prove commitment.

That I'm the one for you

Seeking an opportunity for reconciliation or closure.

Give this one more try or let it fade? Wrong time, wrong place

Questioning the timing and circumstances of the relationship.


My heart is a door

Repetition of the closed heart metaphor, emphasizing emotional closure.

That doesn't open anymore

Resisting the urge to explore the uncertain future without the partner.

And I don't want to know what's on the other end. Watch it warp, watch it rust

Reiterating the decay and rust of emotional ties.

Oh, I can't help but keep it shut

Continuing to keep emotional wounds sealed.

'Cause the key's still hanging 'round your neck

The key to emotional healing still linked to the departed partner.


I swore I'd always love you

Promising enduring love despite the challenges and separation.

And Babe, I still do

Expressing love and remorse regardless of the circumstances.

But no matter what, I'm sorry

Offering an apology for any pain caused.

Hope you're happy... Hope you're good

Wishing happiness and well-being for the departed partner.
