Hearts gone cold

You want it darker

I wrote it all down in a language I didn't know
With each pen stroke my tears begin to flow
I can't have you when I'm cold
I can't have you when I'm bold

Always in control, you have the reigns
I'm the one always trying to change
Chasing you in a hopeless race
Holding my tongue to save face

You didn't ask for this neither did I
But I'm the only whose seems to try
For you I extinguish the flame
For you my ice becomes tame

To you the golden rule won't apply
Yet to that simplest of covenants I'll abide
Your heart the jury and also the judge
Sentenced to life, I go without grudge
