The Cold Front

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
You were the one who started the fire
Leaning in close, feeding the wire
With "accidental" touches and those lingering stares
Like you were drowning and I was your air.
You built the pedestal, you paved the way
Giving me all the words you wanted me to say
I was just reading the script you wrote
Sinking my heart in your getaway boat.
(Pre-Chorus)
The green light was flashing, the coast was all clear
You whispered the secrets you wanted to hear
So I took a breath, and I let the truth out
But as soon as I spoke, you were filled with doubt.
(Chorus)
Because you were a heater until I got warm
Then you turned into the eye of the storm.
As soon as I mirrored the look in your eyes
You put on the frost like a clever disguise.
Now I’m holding the pieces, a million small shards
Of a heart that you played like a deck of cards.
You liked the pursuit, but you hated the prize
Now you’re a stranger with cold, distant eyes.
(Verse 2)
Now when we pass, you look through my ghost
Like I’m the one who was doing the most.
But I have the receipts, the late-night texts
Before I became the "complicated" ex—
Except we were nothing, just a "maybe" in bloom
That you decided to kill when I walked in the room.
You’re suddenly busy, you’re suddenly "fine"
Drawing a thick, jagged border line.
(Bridge)
Is it a power trip? Or just a fear
Of someone actually holding you near?
You wanted the chase, the thrill of the "almost"
But the second it’s real, you’re a professional ghost.
You broke it in pieces so tiny and thin
Just so you’d never have to let me in.
(Guitar Solo - Slow, distorted, and sharp)
(Chorus)
Yeah, you were a heater until I got warm
Then you turned into the eye of the storm.
As soon as I mirrored the look in your eyes
You put on the frost like a clever disguise.
Now I’m holding the pieces, a million small shards
Of a heart that you played like a deck of cards.
You liked the pursuit, but you hated the prize
Now you’re a stranger with cold, distant eyes.
(Outro)
Small pieces.
Dust on the floor.
I don't even know what I’m crying for.
You’re so cold...
(Fade out)
You’re so cold.
