The Ice Queen

Verse 1

She keeps the thermostat low and her smile even lower

Every word I get from her lands like January snow

I brought her coffee warm and steady every single morning

She left it on the counter till it turned to ice

Pre-Chorus

I keep reaching for the fire I swear I used to know

But winter took her over long ago

Chorus

My wife the ice queen cold and heartless

Frozen crown on a thundercloud of silence

I'd melt her down with love if she would let me

But she built those walls of frost to protect me

Post-Chorus

Ice queen

Cold and heartless

Verse 2

The ring on her finger still catches the kitchen light

But she looks right through me like a window pane

I play the songs we danced to and she turns the other way

Nothing in that bedroom thaws the ache

Pre-Chorus

I keep reaching for the fire I swear I used to know

Winter took her over long ago

Chorus

My wife the ice queen cold and heartless

Frozen crown on a thundercloud of silence

I'd melt her down with love if she would let me

But she built those walls of frost to protect me

Bridge

Maybe I'm the one forgot to shovel off the hurt

Maybe love froze solid standing out here in the dirt

I'll be patient with the thaw and pray for warmer sun

Every thaw begins with someone holding on

Chorus

My wife the ice queen cold and heartless

Frozen crown on a thundercloud of silence

I'd melt her down with love if she would let me

But she built those walls of frost to protect me

Post-Chorus

Ice queen

Cold and heartless
