crystal clear i could read it in your face
as the clouds painted the sky dark with grey
i was so lost in your eyes and watching you speak
that my ears hardly heard what you had to say

the wind whipped my hair and chilled my bones
while you seemed as comfortable as ever
i asked when you'd find the courage to love me
and the best answer you could give was "never"

and what could i say on a day like today
when it was too cold to even cry
i wanted to scream and shake you and sob
but "oh" was all i muttered in reply

so we parted ways and i chased the wind
trying to convince the clouds that you once cared
but when i looked up, the sky was dead
and i'm forever frozen in that winter we shared
