Cold Feet, Warm Heart

[Verse 1]
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…
[Pre-chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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 
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
