[Intro] [Soft piano, distant strings, quiet breath] Mmm… Mmm-mm… [Verse 1] You don’t say much when the room gets heavy Just stare through the glass like the storm’s already here I try to talk, but you sharpen the silence Like you’re scared that the truth might make you disappear You learned young not to ask for shelter Made a home out of scars and frozen ground And I know pride can look like armor But it still makes a sound when it breaks down [Pre-Chorus] And I keep reaching through the weather But you keep standing in the wind Tell me how to pull you closer When you won’t let anyone in [Chorus] So tell me where the cold gets in Where the hurt begins Where your heart learned how to hide I’m not trying to change your fire I just wanna stand beside you When the night gets too hard to survive And if you run, I’ll follow slow Through the whiteout, through the snow Till your walls come falling thin Just tell me where the cold gets in [Verse 2] You carry names like a battlefield All the ones you lost, all the ones you had to leave You call it strength when you don’t feel nothing But I see the girl underneath who still believes You say love is just another weakness Something soft that the world will tear apart But even wolves know when the moon is lonely Even steel can freeze around a heart [Pre-Chorus 2] And I don’t need you to surrender I don’t need to win the war I just need one honest moment Where you don’t have to fight anymore [Chorus] So tell me where the cold gets in Where the hurt begins Where your heart learned how to hide I’m not trying to change your fire I just wanna stand beside you When the night gets too hard to survive And if you run, I’ll follow slow Through the whiteout, through the snow Till your walls come falling thin Just tell me where the cold gets in [Bridge] Maybe I was too late Maybe I spoke too soft Maybe you needed saving But hated what it cost Maybe love ain’t a rescue Maybe love ain’t a cure Maybe it’s two hands shaking Still holding something pure And I won’t call you broken I won’t call you mine I’ll just keep the fire open Till you step inside [Final Chorus] Tell me where the cold gets in Where the hurt begins Where your heart learned how to hide You don’t have to lead the thunder You don’t have to bleed for others You can lay your weapons down tonight And if you run, I’ll follow slow Through the whiteout, through the snow Till your walls come falling thin I’ll be there where the cold gets in [Outro] [Soft piano, fading choir] Mmm… Where the cold gets in Mmm… I’ll be there where the cold gets in
