Cold Storage

### **Verse 1**

I packed your name in a box

Labeled *do not open*

Left it buried in the basement

Where the air doesn’t move

I don’t flinch at the memories

They’ve lost their teeth

Everything you were to me

Is just a shape I used to need

### **Pre-Chorus**

I stopped asking why you left

Questions rot if you let them stay

I learned silence is cleaner

Than believing what you say

### **Chorus**

Put my heart in cold storage

Let it freeze where it lies

No more bleeding for closure

No more asking you why

If love is a sickness

I’m finally cured

I don’t feel anything now

And that’s the point of the cure

### **Verse 2**

Your voice sounds smaller lately

Like it’s coming from a phone

Every word feels rehearsed

Every apology’s old

I don’t hate you, I don’t miss you

I just don’t feel the pull

You were a chapter I survived

Not a story I’d redo

### **Pre-Chorus**

I stopped romanticizing scars

They heal better ignored

You can keep the part of me

I don’t recognize anymore

### **Chorus**

Put my heart in cold storage

Let it freeze where it lies

No more bleeding for closure

No more asking you why

If love is a sickness

I’m finally cured

I don’t feel anything now

And that’s the point of the cure

### **Bridge** *(low, tense)*

You wanted access, not devotion

You wanted warmth without the cost

So I turned myself to stone

And called the feeling lost

*(instrumental drop / restrained screams optional)*

### **Final Chorus** *(bigger, colder)*

Leave my heart in cold storage

Let it numb and survive

I don’t need resurrection

I just need it alive

If love is a fire

I’m ash on the floor

I don’t burn for you anymore

I don’t burn at all anymore

### **Outro**

No anger

No forgiveness

Just distance
