Cold Love

Not whole, not wholly separate, but syncopated Single in our nature and because of the times Not a word was said when the lights came on Or a glance given pause at the cost of our desired wrongs It's second nature to love you, it's first to die And we were killed upon waking, killed upon waking to the life We weren't prepared to live, but rebelled to realize We were killed upon the pavement, Bonnie we're immortalized in Blood, cold, cold love, we were still young When the radio lights came on Elton's on the air No fair dear that we were still here In the absence of everything, abstain from fear And if I cry in your arms Just some other shit, just some other shit Just some other things that I've been dealing with I'd die in your arms, bury me while playing this Bury me saying, "You were all I ever needed" And hold me like we're dying from the liquor that we drank Down in hotel rooms, to feel warm in cold love What's harder, harder to say? That you want me to stay That you want me stay unchanged for you? Chained to a lie, we're the same you and I, we're the same Not the same we hurt differently, but consistent in our pain Equal and equidistant in the way we laugh To lay bear the weight of our cold love affair Recalling the days where we were, we weren't, we were Wrong for the papers, wrong for the dinner tables Of the inner rings, of the rich and famous anything's It's gone, not bad, just gone, my bad, just wrong We had and we had, and we were then in Blood, cold, cold love, we were still young When the radio lights came on Elton's on the air No fair dear that we were still here In the absence of everything, abstain from fear And if I cry in your arms Just some other shit, just some other shit Just some other things that I've been dealing with I'd die in your arms, bury me while playing this Bury me saying, "You were all I ever needed" And hold me like we're dying from the liquor that we drank Down in hotel rooms, to feel warm in cold love What's harder, harder to say? That you want me to stay That you want me to stay unchanged for you? Chained to a lie, we're the same, you and I, we're the same What's harder, harder to fake? That you want me to stay That you want me to stay the same for you? Chained to a lie, who's to blame? Let it die, we're the same In blood, cold, cold love, we were still young When the radio lights came on Elton's on the air
