It's cold outside Or is that just the chill i feel inside From standing here steeping in my shame I can't deny That I'm surrounded by the very thing You freed me from, that's why I can't come home (chorus) I don't know where I turned around From chasing what I always found completed me More than I could dream And I don't know why I can't remain Safe here where I always came to meet with You And You always met with me You're still here waiting I failed to see Why You still be waiting to forgive me After all that I have done But I cannot say That one time I came returned and You have turned away Your love never fails You say, "come home," and You'll be there And I can run into Your arms
