It's Cold Inside

What happened to my home? It broke up and blowed away Just like the leaves in the fall Before the winter comes It's cold inside But it's better than being left out in the snow Lead me to your fire Before it's time for me to go Did you ever have a dream That you thought would never die? Did you know that it would haunt you When you put a bullet between its eyes? It's cold inside There are pictures on the wall And they seem to say "It's better to have dreamed and lost Than to have never dreamed at all" Bitter cold is the morning Holding hands with the night Brain is burning with memories Of half-remembered dreams It's cold inside There's a bird singing a song And it seems to remind me That no matter where I go I just don't belong I need some reassurance As I'm stumbling down the foggy road All these notes and well wishes are fine But they're too late to help me now It's cold inside I'll take the notes and read them real slow And then I'll build a fire That should keep me from the cold
