Cold Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Girl, the way you broke my heart
It shattered like a rock through a window
I thought we had it so good
Never really saw this comin'
[Chorus]
Oh, why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
And put our love on ice?
Oh, girl, you know you left this hole
Right here in the middle of my soul
Oh-oh, oh, why you got to be so cold?
[Verse 2]
What am I supposed to say
If anybody asks me about you?
I guess I'll tell 'em I'm without you
How am I supposed to live
When I built my life around you?
Try to put yourself in my shoes
[Chorus]
Oh, why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
And put our love on ice?
Oh, girl, you know you left this hole
Right hеre in the middle of my soul
Oh-oh, oh, why you got to bе so cold?
Girl, the way you broke my heart
It shattered like a rock through a window
I thought we had it so good
Never really saw this comin'
[Chorus]
Oh, why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
And put our love on ice?
Oh, girl, you know you left this hole
Right here in the middle of my soul
Oh-oh, oh, why you got to be so cold?
[Verse 2]
What am I supposed to say
If anybody asks me about you?
I guess I'll tell 'em I'm without you
How am I supposed to live
When I built my life around you?
Try to put yourself in my shoes
[Chorus]
Oh, why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
And put our love on ice?
Oh, girl, you know you left this hole
Right hеre in the middle of my soul
Oh-oh, oh, why you got to bе so cold?
[Bridge]
I can only feel my love hangin' on
I don't feel like it's over
I'm still on fire
Why you gotta be so...
[Instrumental Break / Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
And put our love on ice?
Oh, girl, you know you left this hole
Right here in the middle of my soul
Oh-oh, oh, why you got to be so cold?
[Outro]
Why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to be so cold?
You got to be so cold
I can only feel my love hangin' on
I don't feel like it's over
I'm still on fire
Why you gotta be so...
[Instrumental Break / Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
And put our love on ice?
Oh, girl, you know you left this hole
Right here in the middle of my soul
Oh-oh, oh, why you got to be so cold?
[Outro]
Why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to be so cold?
You got to be so cold
About
Genius Annotation
On “Cold”, Chris displays a somber string-backed slow burner, essentially putting his relationship on pause. It starts off with these grand piano chords as it slowly transcends into this burst of emotion, playing out as a grand crescendo of heartbreak for Chris, with a passionate guitar solo, and stellar production that depicts the heaviness in Chris' heart, and heavier and heavier as the song progresses along in this fantastic way.
