Standing in my house, staring out the window It's a beautiful summer day, but inside I feel buried in snow It feels icy and hard It feels brittle, about to fall apart It's the winter of my heart and there's no sign of Spring It gets colder every day it seems
I built these walls from ice to surround and if they ever melt, maybe they'll drown me they'll keep you out they'll keep you at bay I made no door so here I will stay because being alive feels like stealing avoiding life is more appealing than staying in a world that leaves you feeling cold
and I couldn't explain it so I drove away my friends I gave them a reason to hate me again and again and again I burned some bridges because they just wouldn't listen even while I was screaming, "This is it!" because staying here feels like stealing avoiding life is more appealing than staying in a world that leaves you feeling cold Feeling old "The world has had enough of you. You should go."
you could say I'm moody but I think that's putting it far too lightly this is little more than cruelty and all my solutions are so unsightly Do I need to spell it out? Where I'm going I won't be found So you can turn around now I'm leaving and I won't be helped
I didn't choose this, for once it's not myself I blame Who would choose to bring on winter day after endless day? There's a reason I feel colder every day in my chest There's a reason I'm always angry and I can't find any rest And you're the reason I am leaving Because of you that's more appealing Than staying in a world that leaves you feeling cold Oh my soul I have had enough I think I'll go.
