Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Saw you in the glass
Small hands, quick grin
Back when the hurt
Hadn't dug in
You asked, "What happened?"
I said, "Life hit hard"
You said, "Why your eyes
Look like a war scar?"
I laughed too mean
Like I didn't know
That every slammed door
Leaves a shadow
You wore my face
Before it got cracked
Before I learned
How to bite back
[Pre-Chorus]
I said, "Stay close
Don't grow like me"
He said, "You went cold
To feel anything"
I said, "I know
I know, I know"
But the truth had teeth
And it wouldn't let go
[Chorus]
Cold heart, young boy
I became the storm (cold heart, young boy)
Cold heart, young boy
Now I can't unform (cold heart, young boy)
Don't look like me
When the pain gets loud
Don't look like me
When they break you down
[Verse 2]
He looked at my fists
Then at my mouth
Said, "Did they make you
Talk like that now?"
I said, "Every bruise
Built this frame"
Every bad night
Made a new name
He said, "You still there?
Or just rage and bone?"
I said, "I'm here
But it feels like stone"
He reached for my sleeve
Like he knew the sign
Of a kid gone missing
Inside his prime
[Pre-Chorus]
I said, "Stay close
Don't grow like me"
He said, "You went cold
To feel anything"
I said, "I know
I know, I know"
But the truth had teeth
And it wouldn't let go
[Chorus]
Cold heart, young boy
I became the storm (cold heart, young boy)
Cold heart, young boy
Now I can't unform (cold heart, young boy)
Don't look like me
When the pain gets loud
Don't look like me
When they break you down
[Bridge]
If I could, I'd pull
The years back out
Take that first hit
Take that first doubt
Tell you, "Run now
Don't call it pride"
'Cause pain gets a home
Where the soft parts die
[Finale]
[Tempo Switch]
Now the kick runs faster
And the room goes red
I hear that kid
Inside my head
Cold heart, young boy
I'm still in the fight
Cold heart, young boy
But I want it right
Don't become me
Don't become me
Don't become me
Don't become me
[guitar solo]
Cold heart, young boy
I became the storm
Cold heart, young boy
Now I want reform
Don't look like me
When the pain gets loud
Don't look like me
When they break you down
