Cold Lyrics by Michael Paynter

Money On Your Tongue

2011

[Verse 1]
You're not the only one I ever ran to
With my heart left dangerously open
It's not the only time I've been rejected
To lose and smother then recover by the day's demise
You're not the only way of validation
But you're the only kind of heartache that I long for
It's not an easy time to be rejected
When every weakness lying dormant comes alive

[Pre-Chorus]
I find it all in you
Where all my dreams and fears come true

[Chorus]
'Cause I never wanted to be so cold
Without you here
But it's all in the making of those who cry
And fall to fear

[Verse 2]
You're not a villain nor a manipulator
You're just a tri-toned circus worth a ransom
And for the lonely time it'll be contested
For now or never will I ever make a trade of mine

[Pre-Chorus]
I find it all in you
The space to fail, the strength to lose
Yeah

[Chorus]
'Cause I never wanted to be so cold
Without you here
But it's all in the making of those who cry
And fall to fear

[Bridge x2]
Time after time
It's the cold that's breaking my will to try
Now my world is breaking

[Chorus]
'Cause I never wanted to be so cold
Without you here
But it's all in the making of those who cry
And fall to fear
