Lyrics
[Verse]
The sun came up this morning
But my eyes had never closed
And i?d watched the dead night come and go
And i had drifted here and drifted there
And i tried to breathe the summer air
To thaw the freeze that?d crept into my bones
[Prechorus]
But the warmth it can?t find me
The emptiness it blinds me to the sun
[Verse]
It was years ago you lost me
And i was never found
And i spent the intervening years wandering ?round and ?round
And you didn?t think i?d be OK
It surely starts to look that way
I don?t think I can turn this one around
[Prechorus]
Mama says it?s ok
But i can?t stand to feel this way anymore
[Chorus ]
I?m so cold it could take a lifetime to break down these walls of stone
[Verse]
Sunshine and caffeine
Billie holiday and al green
A good book on the porch
And friends seldom seen
They spark me and feed me
Inspire me and lead me
But i?m still cold as snow
And there?s no relief seen
[Prechorus]
Preacher spoke, i took a vow
What if he could see me now
When you say ?i love you?
And i can?t reply
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I?m begging you to break on through but you never listen to me
You just stand there on the other side when i always needed you next to me
[Verse]
Sun came up this morning but my eyes had never closed
And i?d watched the dead night come and go
But when i look into my heart i know there?s still a spark
And i?ll find that light again because i can?t live in the darkness
[Prechorus]
I turn my head to the sky
I talk to God i don?t ask why it?s this way
[Chorus]
I?m so cold it could take a lifetime to break down these walls of stone
I?m so cold it could take a lifetime so thank God for the blessings of time
