The Ice Will Freeze Again
I feel my scars healing
Though naught but a small mark, showing the pain
I feel the ice melting away
Deep in this soul, where I’ve found my happiness
What I’ve longed, from the start
And in this heart the pain shall melt away
I smile, sun comes to view,
So beautiful, to heal those wounds
So bright and warm, to mend the tear
And slowly melt the ice inside.
And reveal the smile I have tried to bear through all this time.
For when I see this shining gaze
I think I feel alright.
But spring lasts, not forever
But leaves as winter comes again
The pain that once melted away
Is peeking though my soul
These winter winds had never left
They never died and I had been a fool just to expect
That these tears would seize to fall
That the ice would never freeze
I know inside of me,
I still can feel the breeze against the smiles I once knew
Though really what’s a smile,
If broken once again
As winter takes my soul and rips it from within
Again these wounds will bleed
Again these tears will fall that once had left me
A scar will stay a scar
The ice that once melted away
Will all come back another day.
