lyrics

How’d you get so cold to me love
How’d you get so cold to me
All I know is what you speak of
What I show is all you see

We’re all alone out here
And for the past few years
Though you’ve suffered silently
I’ve had only eyes to read

Cuz after the candle is withered out
The dust on the mantel surrounds
If trust had a handle you’d try
To pick it up and empty it out

Save your silence for the night love
Save a breath for when you sleep
If you knew it wasn’t right love
Why’d you bury it so deep

Now with your anchor down
You want to look around
And though we’ve traveled land and sea
You’re still a mystery to me

Cuz after the candle is withered out
The dust on the mantel surrounds
If trust had a handle you’d try
To pick it up and empty it out

Warm winds they creep in
If I had to I’d react too
I’d react too

Cuz after the candle is withered out
The dust on the mantel surrounds
If trust had a handle you’d try
To pick it up and empty it out
could you empty it out

If trust had a handle you’d try
To pick it up and empty it out
