Cold Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I will do without
The spaces in between
If you can tell me now
What it means to be

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You have been found out
I have been deceived, by the one that I need

[Chorus]
Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How'd you get so high? Why you're keepin' me low?
You don't know
You don't know
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly, I'm ready to crash
Don't go
Don't go, no

[Verse 2]
You will go without
The better part of me
There will be no doubt
What this all could mean
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You will be found out
I can not believe, in the one that I need

[Chorus]
Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How'd you get so high? Why you're keepin' me low?
You don't know
You don't know, you don't know
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly, I'm ready to crash

Don't go
Don't go away

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How'd you get so high? Why you're keepin' me low?
You don't know
You don't know, you don't know
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly, I'm ready to crash
Don't go
Yeah, don't go
[Outro]
Tell me why you gotta be so cold
Tell me anything about you I don't know
Yeah, I don't know by now
Know by now
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly, I'm ready to crash
Don't go
Yeah, don't go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
