Cold Feet, Warm Heart

I rehearse it all inside my head

The words I’d say, the smile I’d get

But when you walk by, I freeze again

My voice gets lost in the crowd and then…

I wish I didn’t care who’s listening

But strangers’ eyes feel blistering

I want to speak, but I retreat

Another day, another defeat

Cold feet, warm heart

I fall apart before I start

You’re the spark I can’t ignite

Even though it feels so right

Cold feet, warm heart

I wish I knew how to start

I see you laughing, eyes aglow

And I just stand here, moving slow

I write your name in every song

But singing it out feels so wrong

Maybe one day I’ll break through

Say the words I’ve saved for you

Till then I’ll strum this melody

And hope you here what you mean to me

Cold feet, warm heart

I fall apart before I start

You’re the spark I can’t ignite

Even though it feels so right

Cold feet, warm heart

I wish I knew how to start

(Instrumental cello and violin 20 seconds)

Maybe one day I’ll break through

Say the words I’ve saved for you

Till then I’ll strum this melody

And hope you here what you mean to me

I tell myself, just one more try

But fear still wins and I walk by

You never knew how close I came

To saying your name, then hiding the flame

Cold feet, warm heart

I fall apart before I start

You’re the spark I can’t ignite

Even though it feels so right

Cold feet, warm heart

I wish I knew how to start

Cold feet, warm heart

Still waiting for my chance to start

Maybe next time, maybe tonight

I’ll find the words, I’ll get it right

Cold feet, warm heart

Still hoping you’ll hear my silent part
