lyrics

Feels like the coldest night of the year
Snow piled ten feet high
He told her that he's leaving this time she believed him
She locked the door and turned out the lights

She's not afraid what the neighbors will say
As they drive slowly by
She's tired of pretending everything's not ending
She can't go on living this lie

There used to be love here
Now there's only feelings grown cold
She used to show him her dreams hold him tight in her sleep
Now she's only holding her own


There's heartache as far as the eye can see
And shame panting at her door
He promised her that one day he would make her happy
But promises go only so far

There's just a house where there once was a home
They're sharing no more than a name
Forgetting when he met her he promised her forever
He recompensed her pleasure with pain

There used to be love here
Now there's only feelings grown cold
She used to show him her dreams hold him tight in her sleep
Now she's only holding her own
