lyrics

[Verse 1]

Forty below -- at least my heart would say so
As graceful as a bull jumping out a window

{Pre-Chorus]

It's so hard to leave it in the past
When you're still untangling the mess...

[Chorus]

All the little lies we told
Started to grow
I never really liked snowballs
But they're all that I hold
What a silly life we've come to know
When the clouds are no more
All the little lies melt in my empty hands

[Verse 2]

Falling one-by-one
Little snowflakes of deception
Like webs that are spun
You don't see it till you're in one

[Chorus]

All the little lies we told
Started to grow
I never really liked snowballs
But they're all that I hold
What a silly life we've come to know
When the clouds are no more
All the little lies melt in my empty hands

{Pre-Chorus]

It's so hard to leave it in the past
When you're still untangling the mess...

[Chorus]

All the little lies we told
Started to grow
I never really liked snowballs
But they're all that I hold
What a silly life we've come to know
When the clouds are no more
All the little lies melt in my empty hands

[Outro]

All the little lies melt in my empty hands
All the little lies melt in my empty hands
