Remember the Cold

Verse 1

I remember when I was a child,

My mother took us far to the beaches of the sky,

First time sleeping in the cracks of the floor,

We laid our heads on the cold, wanting more.

Pre-Chorus

Cheeks numb, fingers brittle in the dark,

Shadows creeping when I close my heart.

Chorus

Brave is my strength, I won’t fall apart,

Weakness ain’t brave — it just tears at my heart,

All I know is I won’t destroy my soul,

I give what’s left of me, let You take control.

Verse 2

When the cold gets into your skin,

It crawls through your bones, deep within,

Everything freezes, you don’t know what to do,

Like you’re covered in ice with no way through.

Pre-Chorus 2

I tell myself I’m gonna be okay,

I tell myself I’ll find my way,

I tell myself I’ll stay who I am,

Nobody, nobody’s stopping this man.

Chorus

Brave is my strength, I won’t fall apart,

Weakness ain’t brave — it just tears at my heart,

All I know is I won’t destroy my soul,

I give what’s left of me, let You take control.

Bridge

My soul shakes like it never did before,

Every time I hit that floor,

My soul shakes, I don’t know why,

Shake, shake, shake — I’m still alive.

Final Chorus

I got up and moved, never looking back,

Left that cold on a broken track,

Never ran — I reclaimed my name,

And I know I won’t go back the same.
