I Felt The Chill Before The Winter Came

Well, there's a difference in the way that you kissed me And there's a sadness in your eyes that you can't hide Why do you tremble when I hold you? I wonder if you feel the same I felt the chill before the winter came But it's easy to say that I won't give in again I was just tempted for a moment and then some But it's so easy when you love to lose control Now look here if you will At the faithful man you stole I felt the chill before the winter came I suffered the guilt and then accepted the blame I wanted you before you ever spoke my name But I knew that we would go wrong Just as they do in all those old tragic songs Did that melody haunt your mind? Just like a linger of perfume Now you're in someone else's arms, locked up in another room Is there a difference in the way that he loves you Is there still sadness in your eyes, you can't deny? Do you tremble and sigh when he holds you just like I do? What were you thinking of to throw away our love? And it's easy to say that you won't give in again You were just tempted for a moment and half But it's so hard when you desire to lose control I don't know what this feeling is but it sure seems cold I felt the chill before the winter came I suffered the pain and then accepted the shame I will have lost your love by end of this sad refrain? I felt the cold creeping over my skin... Still as the air until the wind rushed in Still in control, holding on to my heart and soul Only inches from sin
