Cold Shoulder
Chasing Shadows: Love's Battle with Distance and Desire
Lyrics
I've been tryna get up on the border
I've been trying to bridge the gap between us
Between you and me baby
Referring to the relationship
But you always give me the cold shoulder
You consistently treat me with indifference
Still I come running to you, baby
Despite that, I keep coming back to you
Everytime you leave I feel a little bit distant
Whenever you depart, I feel a growing distance
A little bit empty, yeah
I feel a sense of emptiness
Though I want you to stay i know you're better off without me, yeah
Although I want you to stay, I recognize you're better off without me
I've been feigning for your love
I've been craving your love
Ain't nobody fills my soul as much as you
No one else fulfills me as much as you
I've been waiting for my heart
I've been patiently waiting for my heart
To know how much it needed you
To understand how much it needed you
To know how much it wanted you
To understand how much it desired you
I've been tryna get up on the border
Reiteration of trying to mend the relationship
Between you and me baby
Emphasizing the struggle between them
But you always give me the cold shoulder
Reiteration of feeling ignored
Still I come running to you, baby
Despite feeling ignored, the attraction persists
Everytime you leave I feel a little bit distant
Every departure intensifies the emotional distance
A little bit empty, yeah
Continued sense of emptiness
Though I want you to stay i know you're better off without me, yeah
Desire for the person to stay, acknowledging their well-being without the speaker
I might go crazy
Expressing a potential emotional breakdown
Like why are we stuck in the maybes?
Questioning why they are stuck in uncertainty
I know that you want this too
Acknowledging mutual desire
I just wanna call you my baby
Expressing a desire to claim the person as their own
I know that you live with a lot of your baggage
Acknowledging the person's emotional baggage
Ready when you wanna check it in
Ready for a commitment
No I ain't a savage, I am a regular
Asserting normalcy, not being a heartless person
Ready for battle , I'm fighting your demons the bigger the better
Prepared to confront and overcome the person's inner struggles
I swear to god you hold me down
Expressing gratitude for the person's support
When shit go crazy, still you there
Being there for each other during challenging times
But everytime we say goodbye I realise that life ain't fair
Realization that life is not always fair despite the support
I've been tryna get up on the border
Reiteration of attempting to bridge the gap
Between you and me baby
Reemphasizing the struggle between them
But you always give me the cold shoulder
Reiteration of feeling ignored
Still I come running to you, baby
Despite feeling ignored, the speaker remains drawn to the person
Everytime you leave I feel a little bit distant
Every departure intensifies the emotional distance
A little bit empty, yeah
Continued sense of emptiness
Though I want you to stay i know you're better off without me, yeah
Desire for the person to stay, acknowledging their well-being without the speaker
I've been tryna get up on the border
Reiteration of trying to mend the relationship
Between you and me baby
Emphasizing the struggle between them
But you always give me the cold shoulder
Reiteration of feeling ignored
Still I come running to you, baby
Despite feeling ignored, the attraction persists
Everytime you leave I feel a little bit distant
Every departure intensifies the emotional distance
A little bit empty, yeah
Continued sense of emptiness
Though I want you to stay i know you're better off without me, yeah
Desire for the person to stay, acknowledging their well-being without the speaker
