A Little Colder

It’s a little colder without me now
isn’t it?
Now that snow has fallen
delicate,
you say you were stupid to leave me;
I agree.

You feel left out in the cold now
don’t you?
You took me for granted, left me
to sleep alone.
You say you miss me desperately;
just leave.

Sensing the chill of a frigid goodbye now
aren’t you?
You thought a slamming door would break me;
not so.
Took another shot of rum,
let you go.

Never thought I’d find a better man now
did you?
Winter’s storm only feels cruel
to you.
I’m not the one sleeping alone
in the night.

It’s far too late for you to come back now;
you fucked up,
destroyed what we had with nothing,
but I survive.
You’re just a boy, couldn’t be a real man.
I don’t need you.

It’s a lot colder without me now
isn’t it?
Now that snow blankets the city
heavily,
you say you were stupid to leave but
you set me free.
