## Lyrics
[verse]
I brought you every kindness I could find,
Laid it at your feet and left my doubt behind.
But you keep the shutters closed against the sun,
Guarding what got broken before I had begun.

[chorus]
Why must you carry that cold, cold heart,
Locked in the winter of some old hurt from the start.
I'd warm you if you'd let me, I'd never let you fall,
But you keep your cold, cold heart behind a frozen wall.

[verse]
I never asked you who left you this way,
I only asked to stay, come what may.
But every time I reach you, you drift like snow,
Melting just enough, then you let me go.

[chorus]
Why must you carry that cold, cold heart,
Locked in the winter of some old hurt from the start.
I'd warm you if you'd let me, I'd never let you fall,
But you keep your cold, cold heart behind a frozen wall.

[bridge]
Maybe someday spring will find your door,
Maybe someday you won't hurt no more.
Till then I'll wait here, patient in the cold,
Hoping love can thaw what fear has told.

[chorus]
Why must you carry that cold, cold heart,
Locked in the winter of some old hurt from the start.
I'd warm you if you'd let me, I'd never let you fall,
But you keep your cold, cold heart behind a frozen wall.
