[Intro — melodic bass guitar, cold chorus guitar] [Verse 1] You sleep with your back against me Like I'm someone you don't know The television paints the ceiling In a pale electric glow I reach across the distance Though you're inches from my side Your body still remembers me Your heart has changed its mind [Pre-Chorus] Nothing left to say Nothing left to prove We're holding onto something That already moved [Chorus] Cold hands Still holding onto mine Cold hands Like we're only killing time You touch me out of habit I pretend I understand Love doesn't leave all at once It dies in cold hands [Verse 2] Morning waits behind the curtains Neither one of us has slept Your coffee cup is on the counter Beside the promises we kept You ask me if I'm leaving I ask you if you care We both stare at the doorway Like the answer's waiting there [Pre-Chorus] Nothing left to save Nothing left to lose We're wearing out the silence Because it's easier to choose [Chorus] Cold hands Still holding onto mine Cold hands Like we're only killing time You touch me out of habit I pretend I understand Love doesn't leave all at once It dies in cold hands [Short Instrumental Break — melodic bass and chorus guitar] [Bridge — sparse] Maybe there was no moment No final word or sign Maybe we just disappeared A little at a time [Final Chorus — full band] Cold hands Still holding onto mine Cold hands Like we're only killing time You touch me out of habit I finally understand Love doesn't leave all at once It dies in cold hands [Outro — stripped down] Cold hands Let go of mine [Short bass and guitar fade]
