I cant get warm

I’m scared baby ‘cause I can’t get warm…
I just can’t get warm without you here.
It’s probably a symptom of something…
Perhaps a symptom of me missing you.
You used to love it that I never sweated
Like others even though I felt the heat,
But now I can only feel the chill
Under my skin and inside my soul…
Wrapped up in bed sheets and wearing socks
I try so hard to dissolve the ice inside…
I don’t know exactly where the coldness resides,
But it’s somewhere inside me, all over
Even when everything around me is warm…
I don’t mind the missing you, which I can handle
But being so cold, and utterly unable to get warm
Makes me want to question my sanity…
The scariest part is when everyone else is sweating
And I turn around feeling so cold,
And they look at me like I’m out of touch with reality
When I’m only out of touch with you.
If could just get warm, I’d be over you
So fast, it’d be like…you never existed!
But it’s cold baby, and I think I need therapy
And at least two more sweaters and another pair of socks
Before I can even think about getting warm.
Why this? It’s been over two years since we parted
Been so long since we past spoke
But the cold wont go away and leave me alone
I just can’t get warm without you…
