Cold by The Northern Folk Lyrics

[Verse 1]

He keeps all his sleepless nights
In the bags under his eyes
And he asks if it's alright
If I leave after we're done

And so I gather up my pride
Throw my shirt over my shoulder
And his last scorn in my side
He says he's waiting on someone
He's waiting on someone

[Verse 2]

But I take solace in the fact
That his past is checkered as the blanket
That he drapes across his back
As he turns away to sleep

And that boy's a stiff old drink
You always wonder why you drank it
And it burns more than you think
Still that burns all I keep
Oh, that burns all I keep
[Chorus]

Don't grow cold
Don't grow cold on me
I'm cold enough for both of us, so
Don't lose your hold
Don't lose your hold on me
I'm twice the fool I knew I'd be

[Verse 3]

Well I wonder if I need him
Maybe I'm just smitten
By the grass that's so forbidden
On his side of the fence

I'm a feather in his cap
I'm the fresh notch on his bedpost
And the thing that hurts my head most
I feel a chance
Oh, I swear I feel a chance

[Chorus]

Don't grow cold
Don't grow cold on me
I'm cold enough for both of us, so
Don't lose your hold
Don't lose your hold on me
I'm twice the fool I knew I'd be

[Outro]

Don't grow cold
Don't grow cold on me
(Oh, don't grow cold...)
Don't grow cold
Don't grow cold on me
Well I'm twice the fool I knew I'd be
