HTC (Heart Turned Cold)

I'll pull you in and hold you close
Though your the wound that hurts the most
Open scars and weary bruise
I hope for love but was left bemused

My heart left stitches and fallen light
Your love left ache not far behind
I'd hold you dear as you tear me apart
The whole damn cinema watches my aching heart

But now you're just a fragment
An echo in the snow
So many reasons
though none to let go

You're the memory i buried under frost
I hoped it'd never returned at any cost
But simple days pass and I already doubt it
I cry shout and scream because im nothing without you

So bury my hope and cast me away
though my love will never be stray
All feelings go to the one who hurt me
But none go the fragile wind that guides me
