You love me like a poor boy Who grew up without heat Cold house cold room cold bed Now you make my bed warm But when you leave my souls cold It’s hard to know what warmth is when it’s not in your vocabulary There’s a pleasant sort of irony in lighting people on fire just to let them burn out Tears can’t quench all flames

Cold
You love me like a poor boy Who grew up without heat Cold house cold room cold bed Now you make my bed warm But when you leave my souls cold It’s hard to know what warmth is when it’s not in your vocabulary There’s a pleasant sort of irony in lighting people on fire just to let them burn out Tears can’t quench all flames
This isn’t coherent but has some good lines.
