Cold As You

  • You have a way of coming easily to me
    And when you take, you take the very best of me
    So I start a fight 'cause I need to feel somethin'
    And you do what you want 'cause I'm not what you wanted

    Oh, what a shame
    What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
    Just walk away
    Ain't no use defending words that you will never say
    And now that I'm sittin' here thinkin' it through
    I've never been anywhere cold as you

    You put up the walls and paint them all a shade of gray
    And I stood there loving you, and wished them all away
    And you come away with a great little story
    Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

    Oh, what a shame
    What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
    Just walk away
    Ain't no use defending words that you will never say
    And now that I'm sittin' here thinkin' it through
    I've never been anywhere cold as you

    You never did give a damn thing, honey
    But I cried, cried for you
    And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you
    Died for you

    Oh, what a shame
    What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
    Oh, every smile you fake is so condescending
    Countin' all the scars you've made
    Now that I'm sittin' here thinkin' it through
    I've never been anywhere cold as you Writer/s: LIZ ROSE, TAYLOR SWIFT

  • Kimberly Wall from South AustraliaI love this song!!! It's so inspirational. It actually reminds me of this guy I once liked and thought I knew. And eventually I realized maybe he really wasn't who I believe him to be or wanted either. This was a hard experience for me but sometimes accepting the truth earlier is better than living a lie for a while. Sometimes though this is easier said than done. I learnt it the hard way. And it ended in heartbreak. Please don't make the same mistake I did!
