[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Is your heart too cold to love me?
I can’t reach you the way you reached me
The little things that light my day
Don’t seem to matter in your world at all
I need your voice, even just for a moment
A whisper to know you’re there, to know you care
Through the business of your day
Do you even think of me, if only for a second?
[Pre-Chorus]
It pains me to wait, to wonder, to feel this alone
Nights are long, and I ache for your presence, your warmth
[Chorus / Hook]
Heart too cold, can you feel my fire?
I’m drowning in this river of desire
I need you, I miss you, I love you still
But it’s my love, my loss, my heart you can’t fill
Heart too cold, don’t let me go
Give me just thirty seconds, let me know
[Verse 2]
I try to lead with love, with every measure I have
Yet I feel like I fail, can’t break through your walls
Is it me, or is it you?
Do I hold you too tight, or set your heart free?
Every small gesture, every word I crave
Feels like it slips right past your day
I carry this cross, but I wish you’d see
That I’m standing here, aching, needing, wanting to be
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s wrong that a heart in love should feel this sad
It’s wrong that the one I treasure makes me feel so bad
[Chorus / Hook]
Heart too cold, can you feel my fire?
I’m drowning in this river of desire
I need you, I miss you, I love you still
But it’s my love, my loss, my heart you can’t fill
Heart too cold, don’t let me go
Give me just thirty seconds, let me know
[Bridge]
All I want is to be number one in your life
To feel your love, your presence, your light
But I wait, I wonder, in silence I cry
A river of love, flowing only from my side
[Final Chorus / Hook]
Heart too cold, can you feel my fire?
I’m drowning in this river of desire
I need you, I miss you, I love you still
But it’s my love, my loss, my heart you can’t fill
Heart too cold, don’t let me go
Give me just thirty seconds, let me knowIs your heart too cold to love me?
I just can’t reach you… I just can’t reach you…
