Songs I Wrote

Don't Love in Winter

When the air gets colder,

The people do, too

But I still made the mistake

Of ever loving you

I fell head first, let go of my woes

All I wanted was to be held close

The light in your eyes, the light in the sky

You've gone dim, a mere reflection

I can say you left an impression

Now I think I learned the lesson

Don't love in winter

It all ends up bitter

And my frozen heart

Won't thaw until summer

When I finally forget

Drop all of my regret

I lose my footing again

Summer always burns

And then winter returns

Instead of sweet spring love,

I'm swept up in an avalanche

Grab on to my heart with your cold hands,

The slow beat goes along with your plans

Freeze it solid, throw it on the sidewalk

Shards fly everywhere, just like you want

Our winter wonderland melted through

I'm shattered like glass, but you move on

I can say you left an impression

Now I think I learned the lesson

Don't love in winter

It all ends up bitter

And my frozen heart

Won't thaw until summer

When I finally forget

Drop all of my regret

I lose my footing again

Summer always burns

And then winter returns

The cold in the air, the cold in your eyes

I see past the light, I see past your disguise

I remember that snowman we built in the park

I remember that kiss you placed on my heart

You gave me your jacket when I was shivering

It didn't keep me warm, it kept me broken

You didn't keep me warm, I'm still broken

I can say you left an impression

Now I think I learned the lesson

Don't love in winter

It all ends up bitter

And my frozen heart

Won't thaw until summer

When I finally forget

Drop all of my regret

I lose my footing again

Summer always burns

And then winter returns
