Where the snow remembers

I learned to hide behind the cold,

Before the world could see me cry.

I built a kingdom out of snow,

So no one could come inside.

They see the ears, they see the fangs,

They see the darkness in my eyes.

But no one asks the quiet girl

Why she always says goodbye.

I’ve been alone for so long,

I forgot what warmth could be.

Every winter feels the same…

Every winter follows me.

If I disappear into the snow,

Would anybody even know?

Would somebody call my name,

Or would the silence stay the same?

I’m freezing underneath the blue,

And all I ever wanted was someone who

Could look beyond the ice I wear

And tell me that they still care.

If I disappear tonight…

Please don’t let me fade from sight.

I talk to shadows in the dark,

Because they never turn away.

The moon has heard a thousand words

That I was too afraid to say.

I wish I could become a girl

Who doesn’t tremble when she’s seen.

Someone who doesn’t have to hide

Behind a wall of crystal dreams.

Maybe I’m not meant to be

The monster everyone sees.

Maybe underneath these frozen wings

There’s still a heart that beats.

If I disappear into the snow,

Would anybody even know?

Would somebody call my name,

Or would the silence stay the same?

I’m freezing underneath the blue,

And all I ever wanted was someone who

Could look beyond the ice I wear

And tell me that they still care.

If I disappear tonight…

Please don’t let me fade from sight.

And if you find me where the ice is deep,

Don’t be frightened when you see me weep.

I don’t need a hero to save my life…

I just need someone to stay tonight.

Take my hand…

Even if it’s cold.

Tell me I’m not something

That has to be alone.

So if I disappear into the snow,

Please be the one who comes to look for me.

Call my name across the frozen sky,

Tell me there’s a reason I should stay alive.

I’m more than the claws,

More than the cold,

More than the lonely story I’ve been told.

And if you can see the girl inside…

Maybe I don’t have to hide.

The snow is falling…

But I’m still here.

For the first time…

I’m not afraid of the cold
