Verse 1
The ground is iron, frozen tight beneath my feet,
Breath turns to clouds, every step feels incomplete.
The wind it whispers names I tried to outrun,
Old doors I locked, old battles never done.
I pull my coat around these shaking bones,
But the cold ain’t coming from the weather alone.
Pre-Chorus
It’s in the silence, in the scars I hide away,
In the echo of the words I still replay.
Chorus
Why is this feeling so familiar, Lord?
Like I’ve been here a thousand times before.
Cold feelings of yesterday calling my name,
Wearing my face, dressed up in pain.
Why me, Lord, when I tried to be strong?
Why does the night feel painfully long?
But even here, in the ice and the storm,
You’re teaching my heart how to stay warm.
Verse 2
Family photos in broken frames,
Smiles that covered hurricanes.
Hands that were meant to hold me close,
Left me learning how to stand alone.
I built these walls out of fear and prayer,
Told the world I’m fine, but You know I’m scared.
Pre-Chorus
You see the child I still try to hide,
Still asking Heaven “was it my fault?” inside.
Chorus
Why is this feeling so familiar, Lord?
Like I’ve been here a thousand times before.
Cold feelings of yesterday calling my name,
Wearing my face, dressed up in pain.
Why me, Lord, when I tried to be strong?
Why does the night feel painfully long?
But even here, in the ice and the storm,
You’re teaching my heart how to stay warm.
Bridge
You were there in the rooms I cried in,
In the silence when no one came.
You were counting every tear like diamonds,
Writing mercy where I wrote shame.
If this winter lives inside my chest,
Then You’re the fire I have left.
If I’m shattered, torn apart,
You’re the healer of a broken heart.
Soft Chorus
Why is this feeling so familiar, Lord…
But Your voice is louder than before.
Final Chorus
Cold feelings of yesterday, they don’t define me,
Your grace stands right here beside me.
I was buried in sorrow, wrapped in the night,
But You called me out into living light.
I don’t know why, Lord… but I know Your name,
And somehow You’re using even this pain.
So I’ll walk through the frost, I’ll walk through the scars,
With Your hand in mine, I won’t freeze where I are.
Outro
The ground is still cold…
But my heart’s learning how to breathe again.
