Cold Air

The cold air burns the back of her throat

Her mind turns on the failure and shame

It all feels the same

Her heart’s native tongue

There’s nowhere to run

There’s not enough movement in this play

She’s stuck…as another walks away

And love walks out the door too

Oh, what’s she gonna do?

Chorus:

She sings, “I…I want someone to sing

To sing me a love song

A real serenade

That you’ve come here to stay”

She lays on her old worn-out bed

Crafting lines of tragedy in her head

It could all end tomorrow

It all started in sorrow

She’s desperate to know

She won’t be alone

Bridge:

Tell me you want me

Tell me you need me

Tell me you’ll hold me

Tell me you see me

Tell me you know me

You’ll always believe me

Tell me you’ll show me

You won’t ever leave me
