V1:
I only play defense, so they can't steal from me
Cause my life's been stolen, lord's cruel robbery

PC:
I know the dark, I know the twisted
I know no god will grant me my wishes

I prayed to them all, and none of them listened
But I was in need, and god was my witness

C:
I notice I lose what I love the most
So my whole heart's covered in permafrost

Cause I've learned it's safer to not get too close
Cause the closer I get, the farther they'll go

V2:
I stay on the outside to keep myself distant
Can't afford heartbreak, so I keep to my business

God knows it scares me, my loved ones emergencies
And the doctors care barely, no one cares bout my family

PC:
That's how it is, that's how it's always been
That's why we're sick, if only they knew the shoes that we walked in

C:
I notice I lose what I love the most
So my whole heart's covered in permafrost

Cause I've learned it's safer to not get too close
Cause the closer I get, the farther they'll go

B
God I'm so cold, I'm so alone
My love is frozen, he hasn't come home
God I'm so cold, forever alone
And I can't love cause all I love becomes broke

C:
I notice I lose what I love the most
So my whole heart's covered in permafrost

Cause I've learned it's safer to not get too close
Cause the closer I get, the farther they'll go
