Cold World

# **COLD WORLD** ### **[Intro]** Yeah... Ooh... It's a cold world You better keep your heart warm Yeah, yeah ### **[Verse 1]** I learned early everybody ain't your friend Some people love you just to see what they can get They celebrate you when you're finally on top But disappear the second that you fall off I gave trust to people I should've questioned Learned every smile don't come with good intentions Had to distance myself just to find my peace Sometimes you gotta lose 'em just to find yourself free I been walking through the rain with my head high Had some dark days, but I never let the light die Every setback put some fire in my soul Now I'm building something nobody can control ### **[Pre-Chorus]** It's a cold world But I won't freeze Too much heart Still inside of me They can change They can leave But they can't take What I believe ### **[Chorus]** It's a cold world, cold world Everybody got a story Everybody want the glory But they don't know what it cost It's a cold world, cold world Had to learn to stand alone Had to build it on my own Had to find myself through the loss Yeah, it's a cold world But I'm still here Still breathing Still dreaming Still believing ### **[Verse 2]** I remember nights I couldn't see the bigger picture Trying to make a way, praying things would get better Had people tell me that I'd never make it far Now I'm turning every doubt into another scar I don't hold grudges, I just move different I don't need revenge, success is the difference You can keep the drama, I don't need the noise I'm protecting my peace, I'm protecting my voice I got tired of explaining what I'm worth Now I let the work speak louder than the words If they don't understand, that's okay with me I know exactly who I'm becoming eventually ### **[Pre-Chorus]** It's a cold world But I won't freeze Too much heart Still inside of me They can change They can leave But they can't take What I believe ### **[Chorus]** It's a cold world, cold world Everybody got a story Everybody want the glory But they don't know what it cost It's a cold world, cold world Had to learn to stand alone Had to build it on my own Had to find myself through the loss Yeah, it's a cold world But I'm still here Still breathing Still dreaming Still believing ### **[Bridge]** Maybe all the pain had a purpose Maybe every closed door made me stronger Maybe every person that walked away Made room for somebody better I won't let the darkness change me I won't let the pressure break me If the world gets colder tomorrow I'll still carry my own fire ### **[Final Chorus]** It's a cold world, cold world But I made it through the storm Still standing, still strong Still becoming who I'm supposed to be It's a cold world, cold world I don't need everybody I just need a few beside me And a reason to believe Yeah, it's a cold world But I'm still here Still breathing Still dreaming Still believing ### **[Outro]** Yeah... Cold world... But I ain't cold-hearted That's the difference I survived it... And I'm still becoming.
