about

Sometimes, heartbreak is painfully simple.

lyrics

I can erase my heart from my face
My need from my pace
My hope from your name

And I can control the strength of my bones
The weight in my tone
Your place in my home

I'm a concrete temple built with stone cold walls
But I dropped my drawbridge just so you could cross
Now I'm in pieces of rocks
Still bleeding mortar and dust
And you're fine
Yeah, you're fine

CHORUS
I used to think I was colder than anyone
I used to think you were the light in my dark
But now I know I'm just a winter day in Texas
And you are the heart of Siberia

You sang to me; we traded harmonies
Chromatic honesty
I gave you everything

Your voice fell like velvet on sandpaper skin
And your eyes were a sea I was drowning in
Now, I wake every night
Gasping for air and on fire
And you're fine
Yeah, you're fine

CHORUS
I used to think I was colder than anyone
I used to think you were the light in my dark
But now I know I'm just a winter day in Texas
And you are the heart of Siberia

You froze me out with a smile, then you hugged me goodbye
And your gracious autonomy taught me how to cry
'Cause I still love the man that I hoped you would be
But I guess the stranger you are never stops to think of me

Like a gentle drop of rain
Or a touch of the wind
I'm just something you felt for a second
Never something you'll miss

CHORUS
I used to think I was colder than anyone
I used to think you were the light in my dark
But now I know I'm just a winter day in Texas
And you are the heart of Siberia
