Lyrics

It’s colder than winter these summer nights
I beg to differ, it’s your solemn eyes
I can’t stop feeling these empty hearts
I can see through you, just hold me tight

This pain that you feel deep inside
Is holding you back, open up your heart

It’s getting much colder inside your heart
The distance between us is getting far
In reckless abandon, you drift away
In solace, we live and then we’ll fade away

This pain that you feel deep inside
Is holding you back, open up your heart
Time will tell, time will heal
Live for today, live for you
