**Verse 1** I wish you didn't leave me out in the cold Standing on the porch where the story got old Your taillights faded like a match burning low Now I'm counting the ways that I should've known **Pre-Chorus** Every window's glowing but none of them mine I'm tracing your name in the frost on the line **Chorus** Oh, you left me out in the cold Left my heart like a coat you didn't want to hold I'm shivering still in the promises you sold Oh, you left me out in the cold **Verse 2** The kettle's gone quiet, the bed's got a chill Your side of the room is so painfully still I kept every word that you whispered to me Now they're snowflakes that melt where I'm trying to see **Pre-Chorus** Every window's glowing but none of them mine I'm tracing your name in the frost on the line **Chorus** Oh, you left me out in the cold Left my heart like a coat you didn't want to hold I'm shivering still in the promises you sold Oh, you left me out in the cold **Bridge** Maybe spring comes, maybe I'll thaw Maybe I'll love without counting the flaw But tonight the wind knows every part of my name And it's howling it back like it's sharing the blame **Final Chorus** So go on and leave me out in the cold I'll build my own fire, I'll learn to hold All the warmth that I gave you, I'll keep it, I'm told Now I'm walking away from the cold ---
