Fear For The End

How can you tell me that you hate me now for all of time?
A disagreement is just that, not the end of the line
You shut me out, won't you remind me of what you just said
How much you loved me before words caused you to see blood red

Songs on the radio and poems written years before
Our love is looking like repeated history more and more
I try to break us from this chain, but once again I've failed
If I make you so fucking mad, then why haven't you bailed?

Chorus:
It's always cold outside
When our bridges are burned and rebuilt
I guess that's what's frozen your heart
That all the warmth I can muster can't melt
When I'm your enemy, suddenly
No longer your closest friend
Is it any wonder when I
Tell you I fear for the end
Is it any wonder when I
Tell you I fear for the end

Your drastic mood swings are screwing things up inside my head
I guess it's my just desserts for all the shit I've said
You were just laying in my arms, now you're so far away
You won't consider a cease-fire, no matter what I say

Chorus:
It's always cold outside
When our bridges are burned and rebuilt
I guess that's what's frozen your heart
That all the warmth I can muster can't melt
When I'm your enemy, suddenly
No longer your closest friend
Is it any wonder when I
Tell you I fear for the end
Is it any wonder when I
Tell you I fear for the end

Bridge:
I'm a jerk, I don't care
I don't love you, you'd swear
I hear this, and I lose control
In your voice, I can't find
Any hope sometimes
I can't bear to think that you'd go (so easily)
NO!

Chorus:
It's always cold outside
When our bridges are burned and rebuilt
I guess that's what's frozen your heart
That all the warmth I can muster can't melt
When I'm your enemy, suddenly
No longer your closest friend
Is it any wonder when I
Tell you I fear for the end
Is it any wonder when I
Tell you I fear for the end
