LDLHA‐IBCSYWA Songtext
von Twiztid

They tend to misunderstand
The paper man with scissor hands
Who watches the hourglass for grains of sand
That fall and fall again, as he pretends
That everything he lays his hands on doesn′t turn to shreds

But why, oh why does he persist to hide
When they insist he try to come outside
From the shell he lives inside?
Now he's been hypnotized
And despite the lies, he sits and waits to die

′Cause he can't find no words to explain the rain
All his emotions are transformed and now become pain
He's alive in a black hole, empty in space
And he sits in front of the mirror, and he′s face to face

With his sadness, confusion
His patience he′s losin', he′s substance abusin'
He′s one with the music
And he needs a little somethin' to dial it all back
′Cause he's runnin' in a race, but he′s not on track


Love don′t live here anymore
It's been cold since you went away
But I′ve been tryna get myself together
Is there somethin' I can say that′ll make you stay? (Love can be so cold)
Love don't live here anymore
It′s been cold since you went away
And I've been tryna get my head together
But things just don't seem to go my way

Love can be so cold
Love can be so cold

All is see when I′m lookin′ at you is me
And everyday it gets a little bit harder
Like a piece of my life's puzzle has been slipped under the carpet
And to this day, I′m feelin' like I′m never gonna find it (find it)
I smoke a cigarette and hope for the best
But sometimes, that cigarette is just smoke in the chest
And I lay in bed, but it's nothin′ to do with gettin' rest

Instead, I use it as an escape from all the mess
Nothin' seems to matter, I′m only gettin′ sadder and sadder
'Cause I′m not even sure what I'm after
I know my life′s a disaster, and I better straighten it out
And stand tall or fall victim of gettin' caught
In a spiraling downfall of emotion that I call
Devotion and destruction of everything and it′s my fault
I'm hopin' to try more, let′s open up my door
And let ′em know I'm bringin′ me back like encore


Love don't live here anymore
It′s been cold since you went away
But I've been tryna get myself together
Is there somethin′ I can say that'll make you stay? (Love can be so cold)
Love don't live here anymore
It′s been cold since you went away
I′ve been tryna get my head together
But things just don't seem to go my way

I′m an example of a bad example
And as ample as it may seem
A sample of this poisonous apple'll maybe rattle a daydream
But I′m givin' you reality checks
And if you get it, then it′s properly spent
If you can handle it yet, gimme a sec' I'll make ya proud of me

′Stead of surrounding me, totally houndin′ me
Expecting me to be like all the rest
And I gotta be honest, I'm not sure who the fuck I am
On a constant basis
So many faceless faces that I′m faced with
Who the fuck am I? What a shame?

It's not so much your lies, I′m just lost in the mind
Tryna find what it is that makes me feel right inside
And I'm submerged by the urge to make it by day and night
I′m in a struggle lookin' to fight for the right
To be more than just alright (alright)
And lookin' for more light, so I can see what they got in store for my life

Love don′t live here anymore
It′s been cold since you went away
Now I've been tryna get myself together
Is there somethin′ I can say that'll make you stay? (Love can be so cold)
Love don′t live here anymore
It's been cold since you went away
I′ve been tryna get my head together
But things just don't seem to go my way (oh-oh)

Love can be so cold
