[Verse 1]
I’m on the outside
You’re on the inside
Talking through wood and steel
Like they can hear us
Keys on the counter
Coffee gone cold
I press my palm to the frame
Feel my pulse
Not yours
[Chorus]
The doors may be locked
But my heart is always open
Every bolt
Every chain
Can’t shut down this devotion
I can’t live without you
I can’t fake this
Can’t pretend
Waking up next to your empty side of the bed
Is a hell that never ends
[Verse 2]
Clock on the nightstand
Laughs while it ticks
Time keeps moving its lips
But says nothing that helps
Your sweater’s still hanging
Right where you left it
I wear your silence like a weight
On my chest
On my chest
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If I could crawl through the keyhole
I’d do it
I swear
Leave pieces of pride on the floor
Just to get in there
[low vocal register] Say my name through the hallway
I’ll follow the sound
I’m outside
I’m outside
But I won’t back down
[Chorus]
