Lyrics

she fell into pieces,
lies broken and scattered.
even knowing you mean well
does not make it better
she lost her direction,
she‘s rotating off-center.
even knowing you mean well
will not manage to mend hert

for now, conceding her defeat
she will quietly retreat
she will quietly retreat
with your mind as her anchor
your arms as her shelter
even in stormiest weather
there was something that held her
and though that is a notion
that had just started to grow
that doesn‘t make it less hard
to let it go
and if there‘s one thing she will learn:
keep your heart cold or it‘ll burn
keep your heart cold or it‘ll burn
