“Cold” Official Audio
“Cold” Lyrics
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’
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, why you got to be so cold?
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
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, why 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?
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, why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to be so cold?
Got to be so cold
“Cold” follows the album’s title track, which was released last month and is already receiving widespread acclaim. “Starting Over” begins an album of startling prescience—completed in late February only days before the COVID-19 shutdown began. Across its fourteen tracks are songs that examine life’s simplest joys and most serious struggles. Alongside eleven written by Stapleton with both longtime friends and new collaborators are three carefully chosen covers: John Fogerty’s “Joy Of My Life” and Guy Clark’s “Worry B Gone” and “Old Friends.” The resulting album—both timely and timeless—speaks to and transcends the current moment in ways unimaginable even while it was being created.
