Nixon, Chris, Brandon, Tim, and Luke came together to form a band that was eventually named Framing Hanley. (The band was called by a different name up until 2006, Embers Fade, but changed in dedication to a great friend of the band, Ashley Hanley, who passed away.) With their amazing musical abilities and live show the band quickly gained a large following in Nashville. In November of 2006, the band was fortunate to hook up with producer Brett Hestla (Dark New Day), who helped harness their energy into two songs. These two songs were enough to capture the attention of Jeff Hanson (Creed, Sevendust, Shinedown, Paramore) and his record label Silent Majority Group.

Their debut album 'The Moment' came out May 15th, 2007 on Silent Majority Group.

Framing Hanley's sophomore album, titled 'A Promise To Burn', was released on May 27th, 2010.

Framing Hanley is:
Kenneth Nixon: Vocals
Ryan Belcher: Guitar
Brandon Wootten: Guitar, Backing Vocals
Jonathan Stoye: Bass, Backing Vocals
Chris Vest: Drums

Former Members:
Tim Huskinson: Guitar (2005-2008)
Luke McDuffee: Bass, Backing Vocals (2005-2013)
Nathan Birdwell: Guitar

Alone In This Bed
Framing Hanley Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waking up without you, it doesn't feel right
To sleep with only memories is harder every night
And sometimes I think I can feel you
Breathing on my neck

Tonight I'm reaching out to the stars
I think that he owes me a favor
It doesn't matter where you are

I'll hold you again

I wish I could hear your voice
Don't leave me alone in this bed
I wish I could touch you once more
Don't leave me alone in this bed
Not tonight, not tomorrow

I've got the feeling that this will never cease
Living in these pictures it never comes with ease
I swear if I could make this right,
You'd be back by now

Tonight I'm screaming out to the stars
I he knows he owes me a favor
It doesn't matter where you are
You'll be mine again

I wish I could hear your voice
Don't leave me alone in this bed
I wish I could touch you once more
Don't leave me alone in this bed

What about the plans that we had
We've been crazy not to go
Leave me encase and I'll

I wish I can hear your voice
And don't leave me alone in this bed
I wish I could touch you once more
And don't leave me alone in this bed

Don't leave me alone in this bed

Overall Meaning

"Alone In This Bed" by Framing Hanley is a beautifully written song that expresses the emptiness and longing after a loved one is no longer around. The song starts with the lead singer waking up without his partner, feeling like something is missing. He tries to comfort himself by sleeping with memories of her, but it only makes things harder. He admits to feeling her presence even when she's not there, making him feel like he's going crazy.

In the chorus, he talks about his desperation to hold her again and wish he could hear her voice or even just touch her one more time. He's begging her not to leave him alone in this bed because he can't bear to live without her. The pre-chorus talks about how he's screaming out to the stars, hoping that the universe owes him one favor and can help bring her back to him.

The second verse talks about how he's living in the pictures they took together, but it's not enough to make up for the heartache of her absence. He believes that if he could only make things right, she would come back to him. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing his desperation and fear of being alone in the bed without her.

Overall, "Alone In This Bed" is a poignant and emotional song that captures the pain of losing someone you love. It's a testament to the power of love and how much we need it to survive.

Line by Line Meaning

Waking up without you, it doesn't feel right
Starting the day without you makes me feel empty and lost

To sleep with only memories is harder every night
Going to bed with memories of you is getting more difficult every night

And sometimes I think I can feel you Breathing on my neck
There are moments when I believe that I can sense your presence and feel your breath on my neck

Tonight I'm reaching out to the stars I think that he owes me a favor It doesn't matter where you are I'll hold you again
Tonight, I'm wishing upon the stars and asking for a favor to be reunited with you despite the distance between us

I wish I could hear your voice Don't leave me alone in this bed I wish I could touch you once more Don't leave me alone in this bed Not tonight, not tomorrow
I long to be with you and feel your presence, please don't abandon me in this bed alone, not tonight, not tomorrow

I've got the feeling that this will never cease Living in these pictures it never comes with ease I swear if I could make this right, You'd be back by now
These feelings won't go away, and it's hard to live with pictures of you as they only bring a bittersweet feeling. If it were possible, I would fix everything and have you back with me once again.

Tonight I'm screaming out to the stars I he knows he owes me a favor It doesn't matter where you are You'll be mine again
Again, tonight, I'm wishing, hoping, and praying for your return, and I believe that the universe will provide us with that chance to be with each other

I wish I could hear your voice Don't leave me alone in this bed I wish I could touch you once more Don't leave me alone in this bed
I don't want to be without you, and I wish that you were here with me again so that I could hear your sweet voice and feel your tender touch

What about the plans that we had We've been crazy not to go Leave me encase and I'll
What happened to all our plans and dreams? It's insane that we never got to experience them. Just put me in a case and... (line cuts off)

I wish I can hear your voice And don't leave me alone in this bed I wish I could touch you once more And don't leave me alone in this bed Don't leave me alone in this bed
Once again, all that's visible is the yearning to hear the sound of your voice and be in your loving arms once again. Please don't leave me alone in this bed, don't leave me to sleep alone this time

Lost my husband last month, at the age of 24 and am now a single mom to our 2 year old. Hands down the hardest thing ive ever had to go through in my life. My best friend showed me this song and now I have something to listen to while I cry. Rest in paradise Tyler, you own my heart forever no matter what. Love you forever and ever.

To all those that lost their partner, this is the perfect song to remember. I know it's painful, but there's not much left.

Shout out to anyone who has lost a partner. I can’t even imagine what you guys are going through, but my heart goes out to you. There was a time exactly 5 years ago I met a girl who was the closest thing to an Angel I had ever met in my life. If she sees this lyric video, she knows who she is. But she’s the love of my life and we fell in love with each other 4 years ago and have been dodging through obstacle after obstacle to eventually find the love we once had. It’s safe to say that now there are no longer anymore obstacles to face, and me and her are happily in love and are happier than we both have ever been. And I’ve been listening to this song holding onto a prayer that took 4 years to be answered. I love you Emily Lynne, don’t ever forget it baby girl. ❤️

this song has such meaning to so many people... that shows how good it acctually is... the way it can mean happiness to some and saddness to someone else... it makes me think about the past, about everything that has happened to me... <3 i love this song so much<3

Dread

I remember when this song released back when I was in 16 and 10th grade of highschool, and now I'm 26. I remember how it made me feel about breakups during those times, and man have I had plenty since lol. This gives me a melancholic nostalgia. It's weird.

Just from reading some comments I can tell I'm not alone. There's people that are in love and dedicate this song to their girlfriend/boyfriend. And there's people who're positive saying even though they don't have a boyfiend/girlfriend yet they are waiting for that boy or girl and will oe day dedicate this song to them. That's like me. Don't have anyone, but waiting and I'm influenced by the people in love and waiting on love!! Thank you all!

Its amazing how a song can bring out so much emotion. This remind me of my boyfriend. He suffered with very bad depression for a number of years and it just got worse and worse till finally he had to move away from everything so we had to break up. I miss him so much and wish he was still here for me to help him, i love him. You can pretend your okay, but it never gets easier.

I miss you, Anthony. I know you're watching me from the half pipes in heaven, but I miss the feelings you gave me, the one where you were holding me til i fell asleep, the one when we looked each other in the eyes, the one where you told me you loved me more than anything, your touch, and the feeling of you in my surroundings. Our love may never die, it existed just as much as you did. I'll be with you again, but until then, rest sweet darling.

"It doesn't feel right, to sleep with only memories it's harder every night." Wow. The best thing about this song is that it's real. This really happened to him. Don't get the reference? The lead singer's fiancee died in an accident, and she was the one that did all the picture for their band, "Embers Fade". So, pictures mean Framing, and her last name was Hanley. Framing Hanley.
