lyrics

I think that I've thought about you every night this week
I guess it's better than sharing stories that I want to keep
Tucked in bed but not asleep
And my parents say that I'm afraid of breaking down the walls you helped me make
And it's so damn true
So I go to the place where I can pretend
Pretend to finally be a man
This time I won't come crying
To the bedroom where I'd feel your breath
And we would watch a movie while your heads on my chest

I'm not begging on my knees
But dying alone is as lonely as it seems
Now the seasons are changing rapidly
So why am I still cold

I'm having trouble coping
And I always seem to have this funny feeling like a skit where all the jokes I seem to miss
And I'm having trouble hoping
My heart was made for stealing
Ignoring the reasons
Why I'm not enough and I hate you for it
Do you know the time cuz I'm running out of mine while I'm crying on the bathroom floor
Read between the lines I go along but i'm not fine
This time

I'm not begging on my knees
But dying alone is as lonely as it seems
Now the seasons are changing rapidly
So why am I still cold

Why am I still cold
Why am I still cold
Why I'm still cold
