Indigo Girls - Cold as Ice lyrics

heard it performed was in the early summer of 1991. The lyrics are

>from the EP lyric sheet.

Cold as Ice

I don't think you understand

The rhythm of my heart

There's a strong line to mind and soul

And I feel it tearing apart.

I've been searching for new words

To tell you in a different way...

When I told you I'd hang on forever,

I threw my choice away...

Chorus:

It's cold as ice, I can't let go

It's cold as ice, but I need your love.

And I wish I could have been the first one

Oh, to walk out the door,

But the more I find myself to blame,

The less there is to come back for.

You wish you could have been the last one

To tell me how you really feel.

When you closed the door, oh, deep inside my heart

It still seemed so sincere.

Chorus

If there's a message to this madness

Well it still seems quite unclear...

If I really need to save myself,

Why can't I just walk out of here???

There's a message in your eyes

And you make it perfectly plain,

Either I leave your heart behind

Or crack beneath this freezing rain.

Chorus
