This song was recorded in Krista's bedroom located in Austin's own Eastside.
lyrics
She came to me with her hair all tied up in knots begging nfor my forgiveness
I did not know how long those secrets had been bound up there
Or tightly they had been braded in as they fell down and chilled my skin
What a fool I have been thinking for months that she would melt for me
When it was he who held her stare with her head on my shoulder while we were dancing
I will hold her as long as I can until this song comes to an end
I knew she was real gone as he held out his hand and asked me for “this one.”
I watched their silhouettes go bare through the exit sign and neon sunrise
I knew I’d be lonely when she said, “take care.” Left for the arms of the warmer man.
Weeks, days and minutes pass so fast and some days I’d see them pass me in the street
With those locks of flowing hair so wet with tears they did not notice me
I’m stronger because of them because I am the colder man
I knew I’d be stronger because of them.
I am the colder man.
