I alone have conversations
And i have come to this conclusion
You will not miss me if i go
And i am strong enough to pretend
That everything is quite alright
But that facade will crumble at your eyes
I feel the cold getting colder
So light the fires that keep me warmer
Your love is lost inside you somewhere
You're killing me trying not to lose me
and it still hurts less than January
I walk all alone these days
I walk our same old walkways
But there's no one there to answer me
Down at the lake is where Maria sits
Down on those shit-covered docks
All i hear is her voice and ticking clocks
And the cold just gets colder
How do you do
The things you put yourself through
Well i'm trying, but i can't find
My absence in your eyes
So light the fires that keep me warmer
Cuz i just keep getting colder
You're killing me trying not to lose me
It still hurts less than January
Light the fires that warm you to me
'Cuz it gets cold in January
