You’re Gonna Catch A Cold From The Ice Inside Your Soul

Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme FREEZE/COLD/ICE.

 

The song I have chosen is rather dramatic. But I have chosen it because of that clever lyric “You’re gonna catch a cold, From the ice inside your soul“. How much angst can you pack into two song lines? I love those lines, but at the same time I would hope to never ever feel so cross with someone that I would say something like that to them!

The only friendship/relationship I have ever had real difficulties in that I was not able to resolve was my connection with Jack. I did actually use this song in a post I wrote about Jack when he was mentioning me on one of his social media sites. I felt rather provoked I must admit:

Who Do You Think You Are?

The truth is I think the world of Jack…and it is distressing that things deteriorated between us. He told me he loved me and that he had never felt closer to another woman. However…I did not feel loved in any way. Errr…I don’t want to think about Jack right now…so I will stop there, Here is my song choice for this week’s SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY:

I know I can’t take one more step towards you
‘Cause all that’s waiting is regret
Don’t you know I’m not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ’round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you’re asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

And I’ve learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ’round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are?

And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now you’re back
You don’t get to get me back

And who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ’round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all

And who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ’round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

  1. These lines get to me.
    “And who do you think you are?
    Runnin’ ’round leaving scars
    Collecting your jar of hearts”
    Great song and perfect choice for the prompt, Mel.
