The Cold Hearth

[Verse 1] In the shadows of my mind, I saw a golden light A home so warm, where love felt so right A dog by my side, in a world so kind But whispers in the dark, left the dream behind [Chorus] Woke up to a room, cold and gray Ghosts of yesterdays, in the faded day Just this old shirt, and a world so cracked On a bitter path, with the heart intact [Instrumental Break 1] [Verse 2] Dreamt of a place where truth was clear Friends without masks, no hidden fear A hero in a story, where all seemed true But waking life’s rough, with a sky of blue [Chorus] Woke up to a room, cold and gray Ghosts of yesterdays, in the faded day Just this old shirt, and a world so cracked On a bitter path, with the heart intact [Instrumental Break 2] [Bridge] In dreams, I had it all, a life so bright No shadows fell, just endless light Reality’s a grind, a relentless chase In this dim-lit room, I’m in my own space [Chorus] Woke up to a room, cold and gray Ghosts of yesterdays, in the faded day Just this old shirt, and a world so cracked On a bitter path, with the heart intact [Instrumental Outro] [Outro] Just like you, I could’ve been Lost in the noise, in a place so grim But I woke up, stayed true and blue In this faded reality, I'll see it through [Outro Refrain] I could’ve been just like you Just like you, with shadows too I could’ve been just like you But I woke up, and I’m still blue
