单曲欣赏：皮鞋，钢琴，河流 Ashley Parker Angel¹— Apology

Artist: Ashley Parker Angel
Song: Apology

Close to you, so far away,
A rented room, an empty space,
Sirens² bleeding³ through the open door,
Movie scene in black and white,
The snow falls down alone tonight.
No ones ever felt like this before.

What went wrong with you and me?
This is my apology.
Cos even when I fall asleep, you stay with me,
You stay with me.

Stuck inside a broken frame⁴,
Watching as seasons change,
Hoping time will finally set me free,
Suddenly, youre standing⁵ there,
A crowded street, a lonely stare,
A thousand miles of traffic in between.

What went wrong with you and me?
This is my apology.
From the moment that I leave, you stay with me,
You stay with me.

Every letter that you wrote stays with me,
And every promise that I broke, stays with me,
And everything thats left inside, stays with me,
It stays with me.

Close to you, so far away,
A rented room, an empty space,
Sirens bleeding through the open door,
Movie scene in black and white,
The snow falls down alone tonight.
No ones ever felt like this before
