The Skeleton Key Lyrics by OnceOver

White Raven

2013

I remember when this house was more than my home
Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
But suddenly, my family is wanting so much more
And I never thought I'd live through this
Never thought you'd leave and never exist
Tell me this is just a dream

And you'd open your eyes, and your life won't pass me by
I knew from the start that you'd leave with my heart
And never return to the place we would part
And you'd open your eyes
We won't say our last goodbye
The doors to my past are locked
But you gave me keys to the memories in case they were blocked

And I would never abandon any thoughts that I have of you
With this key I'll never let you go…

Tonight, I'm running out of words to write
On letting go of winless fights
On letting go of sleepless nights
But I'm letting go

But you're just a box of bones
And I am here now all alone
Why did you, why did you have to go?
Why do we have to go?

Cause I'm on the outside looking in
Waiting for my life to begin
And when you left it was pouring rain
But I knew that the clouds would leave again

One day, I'll turn the skeleton key
And we'll be where we're supposed to be
