Cold

(альбом: Every Five Seconds - 2022)

I could have spared you the trouble
I should have spared you all the confusion
With one stroke of my hand
Send the pieces far and wide

Oh I had seen how it would end
In the back of my mind
A familiar scene
At point blank range
Oh too late the damage done
Our shattered make-believe outrun
And we were both too close to focus
And we were both too proud to notice

And it left me cold cold cold
It just left me cold
Soulless heartless
It just left me

It was the first day of summer
When a strange twist of fate
Found me without all the wherewithal
To defer to a compromise
I couldn't fake another reason
I couldn't look you in the eye

It left me cold cold cold
It just left me cold
Soulless heartless
It just left me cold
The trying the trying
It just left me cold
And it was all spinning out of control
With nothing to hold on to

As I'm walking from the rubble
Regaining purpose and poise
I'll let the bruises of this collision
Serve as a lesson to my pride
For what is good intention
To let a sleeping dog lie
When the mother of invention
Meant for this heart to fly

Cold cold cold it just left me cold
Soulless cold it just left me cold
The trying the trying it just left me cold
And it was all spinning out of control
With nothing to hold onto
The trying the soulless
Heartless meaningless
It left me cold
It just left me cold
