I promised you everything to no avail I was expecting snow, and you gave me hail My winter wonderland Is held in the warmth of your callous hand The presence -- no, the gift of you Was taken from me half unwrapped A Christmas like this only came once a lifetime The snow turned to ice Like stalactites ready and waiting to fall You shattered all my hopes like it was your business You came masterfully disguised in a masquerade of lies When all the while you were planning my demise
The north has no place for a Florida boy who loves snow There's a twinkle in the sky that says, "there's no place like home"
They say no two snowflakes can ever look the same And that they rarely ever land in the same place But you hit me again with the same cold wind You were never one to follow the rules
(Well, the winds are coming in from the west this time And it's a long, cold draft)
This love is spineless, yeah it sends shivers down my spine (Shivers down my spine) Every move we make is another crack in the ice And soon we we will be drowning (We're cracking in the ice) Put on a sweater, it has sleeves for your heart to reside on (Sleeves for your heart to reside) So you won't be cold all the time
Go ahead and burn more bridges Yeah, cause I could use a flame I still shiver from the thought of you You played me like a game Go ahead and sell me more Like you've still got a chance Cause frankly, I've just had enough Of this dollar bill romance
They say no two snowflakes can ever look the same And that they rarely ever land in the same place But you hit me again with the same cold wind You were never one to follow the rules
Stars covered the skies as I looked into your eyes And I searched for a depth which was hidden deep inside Of a translucent shell; a shallow, cold sheet of ice Yet always thick and warm enough to shield you from demise I was searching for the secrets of emotional retreat Cause it's never just the ice, it's the water beneath But all I could find was a fickle, shallow mind And the crushing realization that you were no longer mine
I didn't make it very far I didn't make much of anything The only thing I made was a mistake You're my favorite mistake
I hope the next breath you take is underwater And the next step that you make is on thin ice
