They tend to misunderstand
 The paper man with scissor hands
 Who watches the hourglass for grains of sand
 That fall and fall again, as he pretends
 That everything he lays his hands on doesn't turn to shreds
 But why, oh why does he persist to hide
 When they insist he try to come outside
 From the shell he lives inside?
 Now he's been hypnotized
 And despite the lies, he sits and waits to die
 'Cause he can't find no words to explain the rain
 All his emotions are transformed and now become pain
 He's alive in a black hole, empty in space
 And he sits in front of the mirror, and he's face to face
 With his sadness, confusion
 His patience he's losin', he's substance abusin'
 He's one with the music
 And he needs a little somethin' to dial it all back
 'Cause he's runnin' in a race, but he's not on track
 Love don't live here anymore
 It's been cold since you went away
 But I've been tryna get myself together
 Is there somethin' I can say that'll make you stay? (Love can be so cold)
 Love don't live here anymore
 It's been cold since you went away
 And I've been tryna get my head together
 But things just don't seem to go my way

 Love can be so cold
 Love can be so cold
 All is see when I'm lookin' at you is me
 And everyday it gets a little bit harder
 Like a piece of my life's puzzle has been slipped under the carpet
 And to this day, I'm feelin' like I'm never gonna find it (find it)
 I smoke a cigarette and hope for the best
 But sometimes, that cigarette is just smoke in the chest
 And I lay in bed, but it's nothin' to do with gettin' rest
 Instead, I use it as an escape from all the mess
 Nothin' seems to matter, I'm only gettin' sadder and sadder
 'Cause I'm not even sure what I'm after
 I know my life's a disaster, and I better straighten it out
 And stand tall or fall victim of gettin' caught
 In a spiraling downfall of emotion that I call
 Devotion and destruction of everything and it's my fault
 I'm hopin' to try more, let's open up my door
 And let 'em know I'm bringin' me back like encore
 Love don't live here anymore
 It's been cold since you went away
 But I've been tryna get myself together
 Is there somethin' I can say that'll make you stay? (Love can be so cold)
 Love don't live here anymore

 I'm an example of a bad example
 And as ample as it may seem
 A sample of this poisonous apple'll maybe rattle a daydream
 But I'm givin' you reality checks
 And if you get it, then it's properly spent
 If you can handle it yet, gimme a sec' I'll make ya proud of me
 'Stead of surrounding me, totally houndin' me
 Expecting me to be like all the rest
 And I gotta be honest, I'm not sure who the fuck I am
 On a constant basis
 So many faceless faces that I'm faced with
 Who the fuck am I? What a shame?
 It's not so much your lies, I'm just lost in the mind
 Tryna find what it is that makes me feel right inside
 And I'm submerged by the urge to make it by day and night
 I'm in a struggle lookin' to fight for the right
 To be more than just alright (alright)
 And lookin' for more light, so I can see what they got in store for my life
 Love don't live here anymore
 It's been cold since you went away
 Now I've been tryna get myself together
 Is there somethin' I can say that'll make you stay? (Love can be so cold)
 Love don't live here anymore
 It's been cold since you went away
 I've been tryna get my head together
 But things just don't seem to go my way (oh-oh)
