about

This song is about only being able to feel love for someone only when you've taken them to their emotional breaking point. You want to feel something for them, but someone else you're trying so hard to let go of is still holding you back from loving the person you want.

lyrics

This cold winter knows the deepest part of me
It's grip has always shown through bare and empty sheets
Your sun it trickled in, and when it comes to show
The feelings of remorse stay locked in my soul

And when the light escapes your bones and your eyes just won't let go
I can feel my frozen heart begin to burn
That's when I empty from my chest this feeling of duress
That has kept me from your warm for far too long

There's nothing more of the words we never said
You took my hand but you left me for dead
We saw it coming but we didn't have to try
I can't hide the truth when I'm out of lies
Separate the days we were stuck in haze
From the life I wanted just to be enough but
There's something more when you look into me
I feel my heart telling me just to speak

Take all of the pain deep inside my chest
Make it disappear make a place to rest
All the fears you know will soon come and pass
I will block the dark stained in our glass

And when the light escapes your bones and your eyes just won't let go
I can feel my frozen heart begin to burn
That's when I empty from my chest this feeling of duress
That has kept me from your warm for far too long

There's nothing more of the words we never said
You took my hand but you left me for dead
We saw it coming but we didn't have to try
I can't hide the truth when I'm out of lies
Separate the days we were stuck in haze
From the life I wanted just to be enough but
There's something more when you look into me
I feel my heart telling me just to speak

Just let me speak

Cut out my tongue and let me go
There's nothing here that can save our souls
We crucified our love to the sky
Left me shaking
Body is waking
Lift my head and tell me it's fine
I am broken just give me time
To disconnect these feelings from thoughts
I'm pushing them out and there's no way to stop
