Snowed Out

[Verse] Winter breeze, streets all lit with glow Met her in the summer, now it’s snow Eyes like fire, smile so bright Every coin I saved, through day and night [Verse] She’s fancy, yeah, she knows her worth I hustle hard, grind since birth Counting bills by candlelight Every move just to do right [Bridge] Dreaming of her ‘neath the Christmas tree Hustling hard, just her smile to see A whole year stacking coins, making plans Wrapped my heart up in my own hands [break] [Verse] Finally got the chain, glinting gold Every cent I scraped, story told Ribbon tight, my love in a box Heart racing fast through snowy blocks [Verse] Christmas Eve, walking through the snow She cancels plans, my heart sinks low Still I ring, hope shining in my chest Door opens… him standing… uninvited guest [Pre-Chorus] Betrayed, broken, snow falls around All my love, lost but still I’m sound She chose him over me, cold as ice Guess love’s a gamble, paid the price [Chorus] So I take the chain to my mother’s hands All that love, she understands Snowflakes fall, I walk alone Gave my heart, now it’s gone [break] [Chorus] So I take the chain to my mother’s hands All that love, she understands Snowflakes fall, I walk alone Gave my heart, now it’s gone [Chorus] So I take the chain to my mother’s hands All that love, she understands Snowflakes fall, I walk alone Gave my heart, now it’s gone [Instrumental Break (maybe jingling bells, soft piano, wintery vibe)] [Chorus] Yeah, the chain is gone, but my heart still beats Snow crunching under my winter streets Love and pain, they always dance Next year, maybe I’ll take a chance
