Silent Suffix

Winter was my best friend
I could never seem to let my heart mend
Who could have seen what a silent suffix brings
The difference between love and the one you once loved
Winter was my best friend
Then you came and walked in
And turned everything a-round
Melted everything too fast
Things that were meant to last
And turned seasons upside down
A broken man
I've become
You tore my defenses down
Can I always wish to be loved
When I know that it hurts too much
A willing burden I wish to bear
When I know that you're not here
So this is the result
Of a life spent in tumult
Recompense could not make
Up for a life spent afraid
Winter was my best friend
Then you came and walked in
And turned everything around
Melted everything too fast
Things that were meant to last
And turned seasons upside down
