Lyrics
Heart of Ice
Marghi Allen
(c) 2006
Chorus:
Heart of ice
Heart of fire
Freezing cold
Then burning with desire
Changing like the wind
He?s build her up
Just to tear her down again.
She was once a lot like me
We share our childhood dreams
But she fell for an angry man
Wrapped her love around a wedding band.
Behind two angel eyes
There was a devil in disguise
He was such a handsome man
But he had a killer?s hand
Bridge:
One minute he would be loving her
Then the next minute, he?d black her eye
He swore that if she ever tried to leave him
He would track her down and she would die.
Chorus:
At first she never saw it coming
Over time she learned to recognize the signs
And every time it got a little bit worse
Till she knew that she would surely die
Chorus:
One too many times he beat her up
And something broke inside
As he lay on their bed
She put a bullet in his head
And she left him there to die
Chorus
In a prison cell she sits and she waits
In her heart there is no doubt
It was her only means of escape
She took the only way out.
Chorus
