Out in the Cold
Love's Betrayal: A Tale of Heartache in George Howard's 'Out in the Cold'
Lyrics
I only wanted to play
I had a desire to engage in a romantic relationship.
I thought what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him anyway
I believed that keeping certain information from my partner wouldn't harm our relationship.
But he found out and someone else gave him her hand to hold
My partner discovered the hidden truth, and someone else offered comfort and support.
And suddenly I find myself out in the cold
As a result, I now feel excluded and abandoned.
He trusted me all the time
My partner had complete trust in me.
I thought I could see another man and he would still be mine
I believed that I could be with another person and still maintain my current relationship.
Well yesterday I had a good thing worth more than gold
Recently, I had something valuable and precious in my relationship.
Today he's got a truer love and I'm out in the cold
Now, my partner has found a truer love, and I am left alone.
I had a love warmer than fire
I had a love that was intensely warm and passionate.
But I listened to my desire
I allowed my desires to influence my choices.
Now yesterday's dreams are tomorrow's heart aches
What used to be dreams of happiness have turned into future heartaches.
I'm payin' for my mistakes
I am facing the consequences and paying the price for my errors.
Now girl, take a tip from one who knows
Advice to others: learn from someone who has experience.
If you open up a new door, you may find the old one's closed
When pursuing new opportunities, be aware that existing ones may close.
So be true to your good man
Stay loyal and faithful to your partner.
Take a lesson from the story I have told
Take heed of the lessons conveyed in this story.
Or you just might get-a left now out in the cold
Otherwise, you may find yourself abandoned and left out in the cold.
You just might get-a left now out in the cold
Reiteration of the warning about potential abandonment.
Don't let yourself get left now out in the cold
A plea to avoid being abandoned and left in isolation.
Don't let yourself get left now out in the cold
A repetition of the plea to avoid being left out in the cold.
