This cold weather   It gives me the shivers   Reminds me of the time that has slipped away   The years have been a friend to you   The smart young kids have nothing honest   In the words they say   So take the pictures down   And disconnect the phone   Wish I believed you when you said we all die alone   Just let me be now   This story's old   And I'm shaking   I bet you walk away      We never knew what we were up against   With our backs against the wall   And I don't know if we'll ever talk again   If I pick you up   Promise you won't fall      Let's go on with our own lives   Were your last words   And I'm supposed to think this was worth the wait   We've grown out of telling lies   And we've moved on   To making promises we know we'll break   Just let me be now   This story's old   And I'm shaking   I bet you walk away      We never knew what we were up against   With our backs against the wall   And I don't know if we'll ever talk again   If I pick you up   Promise you won't fall   Promise you won't fall      We never knew what we were up against   We never knew what we were up against   With our backs against the wall   With our backs against the wall   And I don't know if we'll ever talk again   And I don't know if we'll ever talk again   If I pick you up   Promise you won't fall   If I pick you up   Promise you won't fall      We never knew what we were up against   With our backs against the wall   And I don't know if we'll ever talk again   If I pick you up   Promise you won't fall
