"The Winter's Coming" Lyrics

The winter's coming and it takes your place
A love that flashes & then fades away
And I know you won't stay
But I can't let you go

They'll pull the pieces 'til it falls apart
They're taking punches at this work of art
And I know you're not far
But I need you close

Torn and frayed
Sad faced today
Concrete and paint
But all of it grey

You barely know me
I'm a lonely man
And I've been trying as hard as I can
Trying to make everyone understand
Understand

When someone's different does it make you hate
Or want to take them in and make them safe
With the kind of love that makes you stay up late
And wait
You're waiting

The winter's coming now they'll trace our tracks
Our vivid colors all just fade to black
And you want them all back
But they're gone

Now I'm cool blue
When I'm with you
I get so happy I can breathe
Your thoughts they comfort me
They swirl up in blue green
Lavender and pink

But I don't want to fall apart
I can't start again
I'm in love
I'm in love
With life
This life
