Lyrics

Cold and Ugly

[Refrain]

Fade

[Verse 1]

Underneath the skin and jewelry

Hidden in her words and eyes

Is a wall that's cold and ugly

And she's scared as hell

[Chorus]

Trembling at the thought of feeling

Wide awake and keeping distance

Nothing seems to penetrate her

'Cause she's scared as hell

I am frightened too

I am frightened

Oh, no

[Verse 1]

Underneath the skin and jewelry

Hidden in her words and eyes

Is a wall that's cold and ugly

And she's scared as hell

I am scared like you

I am frightened

[Bridge]

Wide awake and

Keeping distance from my soul

Wide awake and

Keeping distance from my soul

[Refrain]

Fade

[Verse 1]

Underneath the skin and jewelry

Hidden in her words and eyes

Is a wall that's cold and ugly

And she's scared as hell

[Chorus]

Trembling at the thought of feeling

Wide awake and keeping distance

Nothing seems to penetrate her

'Cause she's scared as hell

I am frightened too

I am frightened too

I am scared like you

I am frightened
