On my roof
Dark and I'm burning a rose
I don't need proof
I'm torn apart and you know
What you did to me was a crime
Cold case love (love, love)
And I let you reach me one more time
But that's enough, oh
Your love was breaking the law, but I needed a witness, oh
So wake me up when it's over, it don't make any difference, oh
Will it ever be solved, or am I taking the fall?
Truth was there all along, tell me how did we miss it?
We opened up a cold case love
And it got the best of us
And now prints, pictures and white outlines
Are all that's left at the scene of a crime
Of a cold case love, oh
Should've investigated
But love-blinded eyes couldn't see, no
And then I tried to cage it
But your love ain't the kind you can keep
Release me now 'cause I did my time
Of this cold case love (love, love)
My heart's no longer cold and confined
I've had enough, oh
Your love was breaking the law, but I needed a witness, oh
So wake me up when it's over, it don't make any difference, oh
Will it ever be solved, or am I taking the fall? Ooh no
Truth was there all along, tell me how did we miss it?
We opened up a cold case love
And it got the best of us
And now prints, pictures and white outlines
Are all that's left at the scene of a crime
Of a cold case love, oh
We lost our way, took this too far
And I'll never find the pieces of my heart
We've lost enough looking for a truth
That was here all along, oh!
Cold case love
And it got the best of us
And now prints, pictures and white outlines
Are all that's left at the scene of a crime
Of a cold case love
We opened up a cold case love
It got the best of us
And now prints, pictures and white outlines
Are all that's left at the scene of a crime
Of a cold case love, oh!
