empty spaces

People say there's a voice inside their heads
That tells them what to do
That voice isn't mine anymore, it's you
And you'll say the same thing time again
"It's over, it's done, we're through"
I wish I could believe that too

I've locked you in my mind and broken the key
But hoping you'll come back is hurting me
I look to the places I know
They're all empty spaces now, so
I think I need to set you free

These echoes of us, they're everywhere
There's nothing I can do
Whenever I slip away, it's to you
Same vision, the same place time again
My doorway, you walking through
Calling out that you love me too

I've locked you in my mind and broken the key
But hoping you'll come back is hurting me
I look to the places I know
They're all empty spaces now, so
I think I need to set you free

'Cos I've tried filling these empty spaces
Collecting endlessly, rejecting possibilities just in case
The emptiness is growing
But I hope I'll take back my place
It might be the hardest thing I'll ever say
But

I've locked you in my mind and broken the key
But hoping you'll come back is hurting me
I look to the places I know
They're all empty spaces now, so
I think I need to set you free
