Lyrics:

Won’t write you a letter
Like I did in the winter a year ago now or so
That you threw in the fireplace
When you needed it’s warmth
more than my words could ever give.

Couldn’t burn like desire did
Through the wooden foundation
That hid us away from the cold
In its wake, left a tired kid
Too afraid of the dark
to spend his holidays alone and

If homes where the heart is
Then you’ve changed all the locks
And you’ve left me outside to beg
Like first light of morning,
That evicts all the frost
from the comfort of its bed

I can’t breathe in
This frigid season

Without your breathe between
These lonely lungs will surely freeze, but
Whoever you keep warm this time around
Happy holidays from yours

Sought out every footprint
in hopes to find the special things
that only live in my periphery now
Catch my face in the ice and see
I look like my father
and that scares me more than anything
Heard your voice and my heart did sing
I was lost in the woods
and you gave me direction to run to
‘Nother branch must’ve caught my seams
Fell apart in your arms when you needed to hold on to something

If homes where the heart is
Then you’ve changed all the locks
And you’ve left me outside to beg
Like first light of morning,
That evicts all the frost
from the comfort of its bed

I can’t breathe in
This frigid season

Without your porcelain
Snow white pale skin against my back
Whoever you keep warm this time around
Happy holidays from yours
Happy holiday from I am yours

Truly, I am yours.
