Left In The Cold

I've seen this play out time before, a cycle you won't Close the door Men before your own blood ties, blind to the truth Deaf to the cries He whispered wrong, made my skin crawl, but you just shrugged And said"That's all" You called it normal, turned away, left me alone in his cruel gaze You left me in the cold, cast aside, took his word Let the pain reside You swore you'd never let me fall, but I was never your world At all You left me in the cold, let me drown, while you stood there Never made a sound But for him, you'd fight, you'd stand, you'd shield your son With a mother's hands Yet when he turned, when I was weak, you let him spit Venom when I tried to speak A promise made, a promise broke, thrown away, left out In the smoke I knew better than to trust, yet still your words turned into dust You left me in the cold, cast aside, took his word, let the pain Reside You swore you'd never let me fall, but I was never your world At all You left me in the cold, let me drown, while you stood there Never made a sound Never made a sound I see the truth, it's clear to me A daughter's love was never free You needed someone else to hold, but not the girl left in the cold I won't beg, I won't plead, for love that only makes me bleed You chose your side, I walk away, no more words left to say You left me in the cold, but I won't break, I'll find my way; I'll Raise the stakes You swore you'd never let me fall, but I was never your world At all You left me in the cold, let me drown, while you stood there Never made a sound But for him, you'd fight, you'd stand, you'd shield your son With a mother's hands Yet when he turned, when I was weak, you let him spit Venom when I tried to speak But I won't let this world drag me down I won't be the forgotten one, this war with you is finally done You left me in the cold, let me go, but I've found my fire in The freezing snow I've found my fire in the freezing snow.
