In the Cold

You’re a person and people easily break

The last thing I want is to cause your heart to ache

I’m just a person and this is more than I can take

If this is a dream then I pray please let me wake

I don’t know what to say

So maybe I should just stay home

So I don’t have to see

You standing out there in the cold

Waiting for me to say

The words that you want to hear

But I can’t

Words are the hardest part of every situation

They can make or break you and your expectations

I’m not always good at knowing what to say

And it kills me to see all the hurt in your face

I don’t know what to say

So maybe I should just stay home

So I don’t have to see

You standing out there in the cold

Waiting for me to say

The words that you want to hear

But I can’t

Maybe it is true

I do this to myself

Don’t need anyone else

I don’t need any help

Maybe I'm just afraid

Of what this love could do

maybe I was wrong

And I really want you

I don’t know what to say

So maybe I should just stay

Home

Maybe I should just stay home

You’re a person

And people easily break
