Everyone loves you

And win
You are the villain
You only want death
You rule an empire you’ll only lose
You mean nothing
You are the heroine

I saw him on a winter's eve;
Alas he kissed my rosing cheeks.
Like frost and fog he quickly went
and had not been seen for weeks.

Ice tears drove cuts down from my eyes.
I never loved another soul
Like I had loved him that night.

Cold
You’re driving me away
A drunk behind the wheel
You’ve got a hold of my heart
That I can’t even feel
It’s a cold world
It’s an old world
It’s not what I expected
But it’s where I wound up
Between a hard place and a rock
I gave you another chance
