Lyric

You touched me like a theory

Meant to break without a sound

A quiet kind of fire

In the places I was found

Your voice became a signal

A whisper to the bone

I felt the heat you carried

In the cold you called your own

You wanted something fragile

You wanted something true

But all the burning in you

Was the part I never knew

Cold flame theory

You rise without a glow

A heat that breathes in silence

Where the deeper shadows go

Cold flame theory

A danger soft and slow

You burn me with a sweetness

That you'll never let me know

You move like hidden voltage

Underneath my steady breath

A warmth that feels like warning

In the quiet near the edge

I learned to chase your distance

Like a secret left untold —

A spark that blooms in winter

And refuses to grow cold

You never showed the fire

You never showed the ash

Just the pieces of a longing

That was never built to last

Cold flame theory

You rise without a glow

A heat that breathes in silence

Where the deeper shadows go

Cold flame theory

The calm before I break

A warmth that steals my heartbeat

Like a truth I shouldn't take

Maybe love is quiet

Maybe heat is slow

Maybe everything we wanted

Was a place we couldn’t show

“You burned me… beautifully.”

Cold flame theory

A glow beneath the pain

A love that moves like winter

But keeps burning

Just the same
