1Like ice on your skin
And he's built his defences
He won't let you in
You've been played before
Your heart's been broken
Your hopes were shattered
And your dreams were awoken
You've cried so many tears
Over so many broken romances
You've been left alone
After so many moonlight dances
And its cold
So cold
You don't want to be alone
You need a home, tired little girl
You're getting old
And this world
This world is so cold
And it gets to the point
When you need someone to love
Someone to protect you from the freeze
Even if you're fooling yourself
And you don't really believe
You don't wanna be alone and cold anymore
Don't wanna remember the streets or think about it at all
So you don't
You can fool yourself
Cuz it's almost love
You can imagine
Play and pretend
But it's still unreal
Still a lie
A mirthless, worthless lie
That your heart sold to you
A fairytale that never quite comes true
But it's the only fairytale on the shelf
Even if you're just fooling yourself
This world is cold
Like frost on your skin
You know he doesn't love you
And it's like a dagger within
You've been hurt before
Your love's been abused
Your desires have been mocked
And your heart has been bruised
You've told so many lies
Over so many unhealed wounds
You've buried so many loves
In so many lifeless tombs
And its cold
So cold
You don't want to be so lost
You've paid the cost, tired little girl
You're getting old
And this world
This world is so cold
You're fooling yourself
Cheating and lying
Misleading and dying
Fooling yourself
Into love untrue
You're letting your broken heart
Make a fool of you
This world is cold
Like the blizzard beneath your skin
And he's built his defences
He won't let you in
You've been in love before
Your heart's been warm inside
Your hopes were once zealous
And your dreams full of passion you used to hide
But you never knew
That love could make you cry
You didn't know
How hard it is to live a lie
And its cold
So cold
You didn't know how hard it would be
To love someone who didn't love you
And no matter how much you care
You're still homeless, tired little girl
You're still nameless in the winter snows
An icy frozen rose
Your story's still untold
And this world
This world is so cold
And it gets to the point
When you need someone to love
Someone to protect you from the freeze
Even if you're fooling yourself
And you don't really believe
You don't wanna be alone and cold anymore
Don't wanna remember the streets or think about it at all
So you don't
You can fool yourself
Cuz it's almost love
You can imagine
Play and pretend
But it's still unreal
Still a lie
A mirthless, worthless lie
That your heart sold to you
A fairytale that never quite comes true
But it's the only fairytale on the shelf
Even if you're just fooling yourself
Hold on to that true love, tired little girl
Maybe one day he'll love you
Let down the defences and let you in
Melt away the frost that cover your skin
Brush away those tears that fall from an empty place inside
And reawaken those passions you used to hide
Hold on to that true love, tired little girl
Don't fool yourself with false emotion
Cuz though the world is cold
And you need some to protect you from the frost
Remember that even in the winter
Amongst its bitter cold snows
Love starts of as a seed
And grows into a rose
So you can fool yourself forever
For all eternity
Or you can wait for the spring
Maybe then you'll see
You can cry because roses have thorns
Or you can rejoice because thorns have roses
