Lyrics

Verse 1

You wrapped me in your winter coat

But the lining was all out of love

Fake warmth that never reached my bones

Just a shiver you could never touch

Pre-Chorus

And I believed the fire in your eyes

Till I found the ashes running dry

Chorus

Give me back the coat you never wore

Sister of empty promises and cold

Your jealous little heart knows the score

No love left for the world you hold

Hook

Oh-oh-oh yeah

Your loveless love leaves me alone

Verse 2

You smile with sugar on your teeth

Then you steal the light out of my day

A sister's hands should never cheat

But you traded every heart away

Pre-Chorus

And I kept reaching through the frost

For a warmth I knew was already lost

Chorus

Give me back the coat you never wore

Sister of empty promises and cold

Your jealous little heart knows the score

No love left for the world you hold

Hook

Oh-oh-oh yeah

Your loveless love leaves me alone

Bridge

I'm done forgiving frozen souls

That wear their kindness like a thief

You keep your hollow winter shows

I'm walking out while it's still brief

Chorus

Give me back the coat you never wore

Sister of empty promises and cold

Your jealous little heart knows the score

No love left for the world you hold
