Cold Night Lyrics

Little fingers tracing letters to an elegy

With each word bespoke to illustrate a memory

All the years and moments summed into this poetry

That breaks your heart to read

Christmas comes and I feel a void next to me

A stinging silence for weeks and months in lethargy

We pretend that the love won't atrophy

Through those dark cold nights

Cross my name out and wish you never would remember me

Or the times I lied there passed out with you next to me

I wonder how long it takes till we both forget everything

Little fingers tracing letters to our elegy

With each word bespoke to illustrate the memory

Did it burn when you heard aloud

"Just please leave before I break tonight?"
