Lyrics
You’re looking back to where you once were,
A time you thought that heaven would share,
Before you found this cold heart surrounds you,
It’s colder now than ever before,
When loving words would warm you for sure,
You’re looking but this cold heart surrounds you,
Looking out as this north wind bites so cold,
Chills all of your dreams,
How you thought that a love could be so bold,
Seemed it never would end,
Reaching out for a hand to warm you so,
Find you’re now alone,
Asking yourself which place is colder,
You know that words would save you still,
But silence is the bitterest pill,
You realise this cold heart, surrounds you,
When a lie becomes a loaded gun,
Then a cold heart can kill someone,
And now you find this cold heart, surrounds you,
And now you find this cold heart, surrounds you,
And now you find this cold heart, surrounds you.
A time you thought that heaven would share,
Before you found this cold heart surrounds you,
It’s colder now than ever before,
When loving words would warm you for sure,
You’re looking but this cold heart surrounds you,
Looking out as this north wind bites so cold,
Chills all of your dreams,
How you thought that a love could be so bold,
Seemed it never would end,
Reaching out for a hand to warm you so,
Find you’re now alone,
Asking yourself which place is colder,
You know that words would save you still,
But silence is the bitterest pill,
You realise this cold heart, surrounds you,
When a lie becomes a loaded gun,
Then a cold heart can kill someone,
And now you find this cold heart, surrounds you,
And now you find this cold heart, surrounds you,
And now you find this cold heart, surrounds you.

Comments:
The lines in the final section are fantastic and so well-written.
To whom does the cold heart belong? Is it the narrator or the person they’re singing about? Using “your” or “my” might work better than “this” cold heart so the listener is clearer on that part of the story.
