Cold Shoulder
Chilling Confessions: Love, Lies, and Redemption in Cold Shoulder
Lyrics
Watching the stars on Primrose Hill
Contemplating the stars from Primrose Hill
The moon is high and the city is still
The moon is prominent, and the city is quiet
I came here to escape the chill
Came here to escape the emotional distance (chill)
Of your cold shoulder
Referring to the emotional detachment or indifference ("cold shoulder")
Evil sometimes the things you say
Describing hurtful or negative words as "evil"
If you really wish I would just go away
If you truly want me to leave, why express sadness?
Then why do you cry
Questioning emotional reactions resembling those of a child
Like a little child
Comparing crying to childlike behavior
All your world that's what you say I am (that's what you say I am)
Acknowledging being perceived negatively by the partner
I'm working so hard to be a better man
Striving to improve as a person
You know I'll never ever lie, never play those games with my mind
Promising honesty and sincerity, avoiding mind games
You'll be the loser, you might find
Warning that not trusting might lead to losing
Questions lead to answers in time
Emphasizing that time reveals answers to questions
While you're so cold, so cold inside
Highlighting emotional coldness within the partner
Remember that fight in Amsterdam
Recalling a past argument in Amsterdam
When I made you cry 'cause I know I can?
Admitting causing pain deliberately
You could not escape the chill
Turning the tables, suggesting partner's emotional coldness
Of my cold, cold shoulder
Reiterating the emotional distance from the partner
All your world that's what you say I am (that's what you say I am)
Reaffirming the negative perception from the partner
I'm working so hard to be a better man
Continuing the commitment to personal growth
You know I'll never ever lie, never play those games with my mind
Reiterating the pledge of honesty and mental integrity
You'll be the loser, you might find
Warning of potential loss due to distrust
Questions lead to answers in time
Stressing the importance of time in finding solutions
While you're so cold
Reiterating the partner's emotional coldness
I know you're hurting inside
Acknowledging the partner's internal pain
Want someone to pay for the tears you cry
Recognizing the desire for someone to bear the consequences
Ain't gonna be me (ain't gonna be me), not this time
Refusing to be the scapegoat this time
Never lie, never play those games with my mind
Reaffirming the commitment to honesty and avoiding mind games
You'll be the loser, you might find
Warning again of potential loss due to distrust
Questions lead to answers in time
Emphasizing the role of time in resolving issues
While you're so cold, so cold inside
Reiterating the partner's emotional coldness
Never play those games with my mind
Repeating the commitment to honesty and mental integrity
You'll be the loser, you might find
Reiterating the warning of potential loss due to distrust
Questions lead to answers in time
Stressing the importance of time in finding solutions
While you're so cold, so cold inside
Reiterating the partner's emotional coldness
I know you're hurting
Acknowledging the partner's pain
I'm hurting too
Declaring reluctance to inflict pain despite personal hurt
But I don't want to hurt you
Affirming love for the partner
'Cause I love you
Conflicted between emotions and rational thinking
But my head says not this time
Choosing not to cause further pain despite inner conflicts
