December's Lesson

That winter's night, I handed you my soul
But by new year's dawn, you let it go
This season, to guard my heart from cold
I'll trust in love more carefully told

Once burned, now wiser I've become
Yet still your smile leaves me numb
Remember me? I whisper low
A year's passed by - of course you know

Frosted memories wrapped in blue
Sealed with words: Forever true
Now I see through crystal eyes
If you smiled, I'd still be hypnotized

Snowfall glows on weary friends
I dodge your ice, this charade ends
My angel turned to winter's touch
Just needed me to feel too much

Your velvet mask, those ember eyes
A perfect flame, just sweetest lies
But now I've found a warmer light
You'll never freeze my heart twice

Once burned, now wiser I've become
Yet still your smile leaves me numb
Remember me? I whisper low
A year's passed by - of course you know

That winter's night, I handed you my soul
(Oh, no no) but by new year's dawn, you let it go
(Whoa whoa) this season, to guard my heart from cold
I'll trust in love more carefully

(Your velvet mask)
(Those ember eyes)
(Just sweetest lies)
(My heart survives)
