[Verse 1] You walked out in slow motion Left your keys on the counter Phone face-down Last message open I still hear every word getting louder Empty frame on the dresser Your perfume in the hall I replay that December Til I can't feel at all [Pre-Chorus] I keep staring at the ceiling Waiting on a tear to fall But the hurt cut so deep That I don't feel it at all [Chorus] Now my heart so frozen Can’t find the crack to let you out I’m stuck on what was broken Every beat just shuts you down I’m numb where you left me Can’t even cry your name out loud Baby You’re the one that chose it Now I live with this frozen heart [Verse 2] Friends call I let it ring out They say "Come outside Breathe" But I'm locked in this blackout Where the pain don't even reach me Scroll through names just to fake it Type "I’m fine" Then erase In the mirror I’m vacant Just your ghost in my face [Pre-Chorus] I keep staring at the ceiling Waiting on a tear to fall But the hurt cut so deep That I don't feel it at all [Chorus] Now my heart so frozen Can’t find the crack to let you out I’m stuck on what was broken Every beat just shuts you down I’m numb where you left me Can’t even cry your name out loud Baby You’re the one that chose it Now I live with this frozen heart [Bridge] You said "time will make it better" (better) But time just turned me stone Every memory like metal In a body made of snow I remember every promise But I can’t remember warm Guess forever had an ending Guess forever changed its form [Chorus] Now my heart so frozen Can’t find the crack to let you out I’m stuck on what was broken Every beat just shuts you down I’m numb where you left me Can’t even cry your name out loud Baby You’re the one that chose it Now I live with this frozen heart

Mid-2000s R&B radio single energy: male vocals over glossy, futuristic synth pads and stuttering, swung drums. Verse 1 starts sparse with filtered keys and distant vocal chops; pre-chorus adds airy arps and rising strings. Chorus hits wide with layered harmonies, throbbing sub, and crisp snaps. Bridge strips to synth bell motif and falsetto ad-libs, then final chorus comes back bigger with stacked backgrounds and a shining top-line riff., emotional, r&b
