Cold Room Lyrics
[Verse 1]
These children will never see their homes
Abandoned and left for dead
No chance to live, they were condemned
Unable to fight
I watched in this room as they took my life
You always promised that this would be the last time you gave yourself away
Nights spent, wondering
If you took a life or if it's just a slate you wiped clean
[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's hard to forgive yourself
But there is life beyond the pain
[Chorus]
I've been dreaming of your face again
Another nightmare, will they ever end?
I've been dreaming of the place you're in
So far away, so far away from me
[Verse 2]
Regret, I will devour you
But I will live for You
For all these years I've been watching you hurt
And I want to see this end
This is no way to live
You won't forget, but I'll forgive
These children will never see their homes
Abandoned and left for dead
No chance to live, they were condemned
Unable to fight
I watched in this room as they took my life
You always promised that this would be the last time you gave yourself away
Nights spent, wondering
If you took a life or if it's just a slate you wiped clean
[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's hard to forgive yourself
But there is life beyond the pain
[Chorus]
I've been dreaming of your face again
Another nightmare, will they ever end?
I've been dreaming of the place you're in
So far away, so far away from me
[Verse 2]
Regret, I will devour you
But I will live for You
For all these years I've been watching you hurt
And I want to see this end
This is no way to live
You won't forget, but I'll forgive
You will create again
Don't let the sins of your past become a trend
You will feel again
The words that they tell you will come to an end
Time won't heal these wounds
But living with purpose will make you feel whole
Pain won't bleed out the sorrow
But living today will help you heal tomorrow
[Chorus]
I've been dreaming of your face again
Another nightmare, will they ever end?
I've been dreaming of the place you're in
So far away, so far away from me
So far away from me, far away from me
I've been dreaming of your face again
So far away from me, far away from me
I've been dreaming of your face again
(So far away from me, far away from me)
Another nightmare, that will never end
I've been dreaming of the place you're in
(So far away from me, far away from me)
Don't let the sins of your past become a trend
You will feel again
The words that they tell you will come to an end
Time won't heal these wounds
But living with purpose will make you feel whole
Pain won't bleed out the sorrow
But living today will help you heal tomorrow
[Chorus]
I've been dreaming of your face again
Another nightmare, will they ever end?
I've been dreaming of the place you're in
So far away, so far away from me
So far away from me, far away from me
I've been dreaming of your face again
So far away from me, far away from me
I've been dreaming of your face again
(So far away from me, far away from me)
Another nightmare, that will never end
I've been dreaming of the place you're in
(So far away from me, far away from me)
