Cold
Chasing Shadows: A Heart in the Cold Night
Lyrics
I climbed too quick
I made rapid progress or advancements
Got close too fast
I became emotionally close too quickly
Gave you too much
I gave you too much emotionally or materially
And just like that
Things changed abruptly
Just like that
Reiteration of a sudden change
I care too much
I invested too much emotion or care
Get nothin' back
Received nothing in return
Feel like a fool
Feeling foolish or regretful
So what's the use
Questioning the purpose or value
Of chasin' you
Questioning the pursuit of the relationship
Don't wanna risk feelin' incomplete
Avoiding the risk of feeling incomplete
Thinkin' I'll retreat
Considering withdrawal or stepping back
To who I was before you
Returning to the self before the relationship
As the night gets cold
Feeling isolated as the emotional distance grows
Feelin' more alone
Intensified loneliness
Sensin' you let go
Sensing the partner's detachment
I'm starin' at my phone
Staring at the phone, perhaps awaiting a message
Don't wanna care no more
Not wanting to care anymore
I'm bracin' for the storm
Preparing for emotional turbulence
When you're this distant
When emotional distance is significant
It's below freezin'
Metaphorically, the emotional state is extremely cold
Was it somethin' I said
Questioning if something said caused the distance
How often I said it
Reflecting on the frequency of statements
Did I give in too quick
Did I give in too easily or readily
That you just didn't want it
Partner may not have wanted the commitment
Got tired of keepin' up
Partner became weary of maintaining the relationship
Was I too needy
Questioning if I was too dependent
Or just not enough
Considering if I was insufficient in some way
Got too many priorities
Overwhelmed with too many priorities
Tell me wassup
Seeking clarity on the current situation
Before I lose faith in us
Before losing faith in the relationship
Don't wanna risk feelin' incomplete
Avoiding the risk of feeling incomplete (repeated)
Thinkin' I'll retreat
Considering withdrawal or stepping back (repeated)
To who I was before you
Returning to the self before the relationship (repeated)
As the night gets cold
Feeling isolated as the emotional distance grows (repeated)
Feelin' more alone
Intensified loneliness (repeated)
Sensin' you let go
Sensing the partner's detachment (repeated)
I'm starin' at my phone
Staring at the phone, perhaps awaiting a message (repeated)
Don't wanna care no more
Not wanting to care anymore (repeated)
I'm bracin' for the storm
Preparing for emotional turbulence (repeated)
When you're this distant
When emotional distance is significant (repeated)
It's below freezin'
Metaphorically, the emotional state is extremely cold (repeated)
