Winter © 2010 Dee James

Another petal falls from the stem
In the morning you can collect
No response at the weekend
Clear your inbox a bomb is coming

Wish my eyes were shielded
To the anger within
It's taken it's toll
and he's taken offence to everything
Struggle for connection
I lay down my weapons
and I find myself in Winter
so dark and cold

So this is how it escalated
She uses me like a crutch
In the past I've been stronger
But right now this is just too much

He's just getting wasted
and I can feel this lover
with nowhere to go
oh what I would give right now
to be swept up in your arms
my happiness returns
our love burst through the wall that I built to protect me

Would you let go of his love
as you bleed down at his feet?
Where's the safety in need?
The safety in need, this is damaging me.

Would you love if he was cursed?
Did not know it would be worse
But I thought I could feel it
I thought I could feel him in me

So flood me with your love
I live like an Island
would you swim out to me, swim out to me
in Winter?
