Oak chips popped and embered
In the fireplace where I declared my love for you
"I want to be the one. I want be the one to warm your frigid heart"
And in that instant
Wisdom became overpowered by enthusiasm
Common-sense became overwhelmed by temptation
The forecast called for snow, ice, hail
Arctic conditions only good for suffering
I had a mask to mask, I took it off
I had a coat to cover, I peeled it off
My intentions became contradictions
When you left my heart colder than your own

In the fireplace where I declared my love for you

And in that instant
Wisdom became overpowered by enthusiasm
Common-sense became overwhelmed by temptation

Arctic conditions only good for suffering
I had a mask to mask, I took it off
I had a coat to cover, I peeled it off
My intentions became contradictions
When you left my heart colder than your own
