VERSE 2(same as verse 1)
It's cold in here
An' my heart still wants you to hold me
Baby, you're never here
But when you with me i get so lonely
I see you talking but your lips don't make a sound
You see me crying but my tears don't hurt you now
How can you stand there say you know who's to blame
How can you act like everything is OK
