WHERE EVERY FOOTSTEP CRACKS
Walking on ice, where every footstep cracks
Frozen toes in socks that once were warm
Every snowflake on my frigid curls stack
I never meant to do anyone any harm
Every step I take, my disappearing feet
Frozen toes in socks that once were warm
I tried to speak, to see your face, to meet
Your eyes, with contempt still lingering in
Every step I take, my disappearing feet
If I will leave for good, will you please begin
Please understand, my love will not forget
Your eyes, with contempt still lingering in
So desperate my love, I wish we never met
I choose this freezing cold over frozen glance
Please understand, my love will not forget
If I sink deep, perform my final dance
Walking on ice, where every footstep cracks
I choose this freezing cold over frozen glance
Every snowflake on my frigid curls stack
