There's a crack in the ice that’s forming

Came up quick and without a warning

Leading from you back towards me

Caused by fears and anxieties

There's a shift in the winds worth noting

How could I have been so slow seeing

That here the ice was getting thinner

Here I should've been more careful

And I feel so disappointed

But I’m too damn conflict avoidant

I can't say what needs to be said

To wrest these words free from my head

And I'm turned around and twisted

At the thought that I could've missed it

Anxiety will reign over the day again

I will rue it to my end

There's a crack in the ice that's forming

Came up swift and without warning

A gulf dividing between you and I

A sign of a sharp decline

There's a choice to be made that's waiting

And the desire we felt now waning

You’re stood on the surface fading

How could I reach you now

Tell me how do I mend the rift

And I feel so disappointed

But I’m too damn conflict avoidant

I can't say what needs to be said

To wrest these words free from my head

And I’m turned around and twisted

At the thought that I could've missed it

Anxiety will reign over the day again

I will rue it to my end

There's a crack in the ice that's threatening

But your voice is small but beckoning

I must take these footsteps gentle

As not to break down all that we’ve built

No more silences where there should be vibrance

No more wondering where the light is

I reach my hand across the gap

I reach it out but you can't reach me back

And I feel so disappointed

But I'm too damn conflict avoidant

I can't say what needs to be said

To wrest these words free from my head

And I'm turned around and twisted

At the thought that I could've missed it

Anxiety will reign over the day again

I will rue it to my end
