Cold Hands

Lyrics

Intro
[F] Ooh-oh
[Audience] Ooh-oh
[F] Ahh

Chorus
[F] I can't stay
[F] I can't stay
[F] I'm gone too soon
[F] But I still want you
[F] Don't hold me close
[F] I might let go
[F] I can't stay
[F] I can't stay

Verse 1
[M1] I love hard, then I back away
[M1] Ring on my hand? I shake
[M1] I text back late, then I vanish clean
[M1] Like I never was there in the scene
[M1] She said, "Boy, why you run from peace?"
[M1] I said, "Love feels like a lease"
[M1] Month to month, then the door gets slammed
[M1] Still I reach for the same damn hand

Pre-Chorus
[F] Ooh, I feel it in my chest
[F] Ooh, I never do my best
[F] If you ask for forever now
[F] I might leave you in the crowd

Chorus
[F] I can't stay
[F] I can't stay
[F] I'm gone too soon
[F] But I still want you
[F] Don't hold me close
[F] I might let go
[F] I can't stay
[F] I can't stay

Verse 2
[M2] I used to build up walls with names
[M2] Put my heart in a picture frame
[M2] Looked good hanging there for a while
[M2] Till the cracks came back in style
[M2] She wanted keys, I wanted space
[M2] Two good people, wrong damn pace
[M2] Now I sit with my phone on mute
[M2] Wondering who was scared first, me or you

Pre-Chorus
[F] Ooh, I'm made of breaking glass
[F] Ooh, I watch good things pass
[F] If your hands stay on me too long
[F] I turn cold and then I'm gone

Chorus
[F] I can't stay
[F] I can't stay
[F] I'm gone too soon
[F] But I still want you
[F] Don't hold me close
[F] I might let go
[F] I can't stay
[F] I can't stay

Verse 3
[M3] I know that look, it's in your eyes
[M3] You want forever, I want tries
[M3] I don't fake love, I just fear the fall
[M3] So I act small, then I act tall
[M3] Told her, "Baby, I'm bad at this"
[M3] She said, "Then why do your hands shake?"
[M3] 'Cause every time I get too near
[M3] I hear goodbye before it hits my ear

Bridge
[F] Ooh-oh, hear me now
[F] I'm not a home, I'm a storm somehow
[F] Ooh-oh, take my name
[F] If you want me, love me that way
[F] I can shine, I can burn so bright
[F] But I disappear if you hold too tight

Final Chorus
[F] I can't stay
[F] I can't stay
[F] I'm gone too soon
[F] But I still want you
[F] Don't hold me close
[F] I might let go
[F] I can't stay
[F] I can't stay
[F] I can't stay
[F] I can't stay

Outro
[Audience] Ooh-oh
[F] I can't stay
[F] Ooh-oh
