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
