I’m not cold, don’t get it wrong

I burned too bright for far too long

Gave my fire to empty hands

Watched it fade like drifting sands

I was warmth in winter air

Hope for those who didn’t care

Held the light so they could see

While they slowly drained from me

Every spark I gave away

Turned to silence, turned to gray

Now I guard the flame inside

Where the truth can safely hide

I’m not cold, I just learned

Some bridges should just burn

I stopped giving warmth away

To hands that never meant to stay

Call it distance, call it pride

But my fire’s still alive

I’m not cold — I just know

Where my warmth should never go

Once I opened every door

Let the wrong ones ask for more

Thought that love meant giving all

Even when I felt the fall

Now the frost around my skin

Keeps the wrong ones from within

If you feel the chill I show

It’s because I finally know

Every wound became a sign

Teaching where to draw the line

Not a wall but something wise

Fire hidden in my eyes

I’m not cold, I just learned

Some bridges should just burn

I stopped giving warmth away

To hands that never meant to stay

Call it distance, call it pride

But my fire’s still alive

I’m not cold — I just know

Where my warmth should never go

If you ever earn the flame

You will feel it just the same

Soft as dawn, fierce as night

Love that burns with steady light

But until the moment’s true

I keep that fire out of view

I’m not cold, I just changed

From the way I once behaved

Now my warmth is something rare

For the souls who truly care

Not a shadow, not a stone

Just a heart that’s finally grown

I’m not cold — I just chose

Who deserves the warmth I hold.
