lyrics

I asked you how does it end
And you told me it was more of a break than a bend
Two years in that house with you
The cracks so big that the wind blew through
The walls whispered in the night
All of our fears from all of our fights
With snow in the forecast and noise on tv
Under blankets and low light, did you still see me
The holes in our souls were wearing out
I patched mine up and covered my doubt
We were buried deep in a drift of snow
We could wait for spring or just let go
The dangers of winter is that all you can take
Like pipes filled with water they freeze and then they break
And at thirty below
There was nowhere to go
I’ll sing you one last song and say goodbye
We can walk away from here or try
To step in winter and feel the cold
Beautifully bitter and brutally bold
Cold’s come, it’s here to stay
It steals my breath away
The dangers of winter is that all you can take
Like pipes filled with water they freeze and then they break
And at thirty below
There was nowhere to go.
