See, I'm guilty, but if I get closer
You would tear my belly open!
Use my last heartbeats just to make your hands warm
[Chorus]
I can see the frostbite taking hold
And I know you wanted a heart of gold
Time is running out
It's running out
So much desperation's in your eyes
But all of us are killers inside
So I'm running out-
I'm running out?
I'm running out on you
