Colder than I came

I poured myself out just to see them filled

Wore my patience thin bent beyond my will

Thought goodwill could buy a bond that stays

But all I did was feed a fire that fades

They spoke of needs like sacred vows

I gave and watched them twist the how

They came with open palms and hollow praise

Assumed my sky would never see a gray

I'm colder than I came

Gave too much and took the blame

What I offered drained me like the rain

Now I walk away soul a dimmer flame

I'm not the fool you knew yesterday

I'm colder than I came

They made their trades with whispered grace

But never honored what they said they'd place

And when I built a line they couldn't cross

The silence told me what I'd really lost

I'm colder than I came

Watched the warmth bleed out through shame

What I thought was love was just a game

Now I walk away soul a dimmer flame

I'm not the fool you knew yesterday

I'm colder than I came

Don't call it pride don't call it spite

It's just the cost of learning who was right

You set the terms and moved the gate

But I'm the one who paid in weight

I'm colder than I came

You don't get to feed and dodge the flame

I gave enough now I reclaim

What's left of me the rest can fade

I'm not the fool you knew yesterday

I'm colder than I came

Yeah I'm colder than I came
