[Verse]
I know it’s a problem I like falling into your arms
And I know there’s a reason that I always put up my guard
You like drinking and then taking things apart
But can’t you see we’re different people I don’t wanna make this hard
[PreChorus]
I like my peace
You like to fight
I like to reach
You hold on tight
But I’m afraid to ask you why (to ask you why)
[Chorus]
Don’t say (don’t say)
You were there when you weren’t
Cause I don’t think (don’t think)
You were there when I was hurting
And now I don’t know if I wanna come home
Now I don’t know if I’ll ever go back
You’re so cold (so cold so cold)
Ice on snow (don’t say you’ll be there)
It gеts old (gets old gets old)
Rust on gold
[Verse]
I’m too optimistic when I think that this’ll work out
Without anothеr emotional night where we both break down
[PreChorus]
I keep talking
You say nothing
I’ll keep trying
For something
But I’m afraid it’s not working
[Chorus]
Don’t say (don’t say)
You were there when you weren’t
Cause I don’t think (don’t think)
You were there when I was hurting
And now I don’t know if I wanna come home
Now I don’t know if I’ll ever go back
You’re so cold (so cold so cold)
Ice on snow (don’t say you’ll be there)
It gets old (gets old gets old)
Rust on gold
[Bridge]
Oh I should’ve told you what I never did
I feel like I wasted away so many minutes (don’t say you’ll be there)
I need something different than the way this is
Cause I feel like I’m falling in
[Chorus]
Don’t say (don’t say)
You were there when you weren’t
Cause I don’t think (don’t think)
You were there when I was hurting
And now I don’t know if I wanna come home
Now I don’t know if I’ll ever go back
You’re so cold (so cold so cold)
Ice on snow (don’t say you’ll be there)
It gets old (gets old gets old)
Rust on gold

I was really angry when I wrote this song. I felt super betrayed, not just by one person, but by a series of things that had happened. It’s almost recognizing and sort of breaking the news to myself that this person was not there for you when you needed them, or these people were not there for you w...
