Cold Flame

**Cold Flame**

 

 

Intro (whisper / ad-lib)

 

Yeah — yeah, mm, skrrt, woah

 

 

Verse 1

 

Cold nights, city breathin' frost on my hood,

 

You a warm spark in the streets where nothin' feels good.

 

Bulletproof heart but you found the soft spot,

 

Countin' scars like commas — still, you never left a dot.

 

Used to run from sirens, now I run to your laugh,

 

Paper dreams in my pocket, you the real photograph.

 

Friends say be careful, love'll cut like glass,

 

But your voice on the line turn my winters into past. (yeah)

 

 

Pre-Chorus

 

You pull me close from buildings with broken lights,

 

Hold me while I talk ghosts away at night.

 

Diamonds on the dash but your eyes—my only shine,

 

Love on the block — baby, you redefine.

 

 

Chorus (hook)

 

You my cold flame, keep me burnin' slow, (woah)

 

Heat in the shadow where the real ones go.

 

You my cold flame, in these alleys we glow, (skrrt)

 

Names on the pavement but it’s you I know.

 

 

Verse 2

 

Late texts, read receipts, I memorize the tone,

 

Your laugh crackin' like a code, I'm decoded when I'm home.

 

They bet on my fall but you bet on my rise,

 

You see the man past the mask, past the hollow lies.

 

We count our blessings in the back of the ride,

 

Hands on the wheel, your hand on my pride.

 

If the night's a war zone, you my ceasefire,

 

We stack dreams like bricks — love's the empire. (yeah)

 

 

Pre-Chorus

 

You pull me from the dark with a whisper plain,

 

Turn my hunger into peace, turn my loss into gain.

 

In the static of the street, your melody's clean,

 

We built a little kingdom, unseen, unforeseen.

 

 

Chorus (hook)

 

You my cold flame, keep me burnin' slow, (yeah)

 

Heat in the shadow where the real ones go.

 

You my cold flame, in these alleys we glow, (ooh)

 

Names on the pavement but it’s you I know.

 

 

Bridge (melodic, vulnerable)

 

Promise on a necklace, scars on my sleeve,

 

You the only truth I choose to believe.

 

If the world try to take it, we keep it close,

 

Love write our chapters in the smoke of those ghosts. (woah)

 

 

Breakdown (sparse, intimate)

 

No glitter, no fame, just the pulse of our names,

 

Under flicker streetlight, girl, we lightin' our flames.

 

Say you ride forever — I won’t ask for more,

 

You the reason I breathe when the sirens roar.

 

 

Chorus (final, layered)

 

You my cold flame, keep me burnin' slow, (skrrt)

 

Heat in the shadow where the real ones go.

 

You my cold flame, even when the winters blow, (yeah)

 

Concrete roses — in the dark we grow.

 

 

Outro (soft, long-held)

 

Cold flame, don’t burn out, stay right by my chest,

 

We made love from the rubble — that's our testament. (yeah)
