Ice Lyrics
My mouth is frozen so I can't even speak
What a disappointment, I had it perfectly
What I was going to bring up suddenly
Stood like a stone as you stood quietly
You're making it hard for me
All I can do is freeze
What I mean is, all I need is,
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice
I don't think you're knowing how hard this is for me
I'm not the type to say sorry constantly
So I swallowed my pride and I got on my knees
But still you just stood there as you stared at me
Your ego is getting old
How did you get so cold
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/lights/ice.html ]
What I mean is, all I need is,
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice
I'm looking at you looking at me, what can I do but say sorry
It's a little late but you know I want you to be happy.
What I got to say to make you let me get away with it this time.
I know you're upset and that you're happy just to sit and hate me,
But I'll make a bet that you'll be better to forget about me,
Even better yet I'll let a little light melt the ice, ice baby!
My mouth is frozen so I can't even speak
I'm not the kind to say sorry constantly
What I mean is, all I need is,
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing
What I mean is, all I need is,
Just a little emotion
Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice

He does things wrong and makes her say sorry and there is no emotion in their relationship. He's become so cold and mean to her and she wants to melt him as in make him realize what he does to her.
