Colder [Verse 1] You drew a picture of some strange place we had never mentioned filled the gaps with educated assumptions, Then you noticed the tensions. You chose the road, the timing, the destination too, without saying where we’re starting or what we needed you to do. [pre chorus] So we stopped explaining anything. You stopped asking us anything new. And somewhere underneath the silence we both know what this has turned into. [Chorus] You knew what was best for us. You said it with such certainty. You made the call, we took the fall, As you questioned our ability. Not every word is weaponised, Not every silence is keeping score. You wanted to make things better. But now we’re colder than before. So much colder than before [Verse 2] The murmurs became the background sound, the complaints made you peeved. You grew increasingly hard to read when your assertions failed to lead. You’d solved a problem you imagined, then resented what remained. When the group refused your remedy, And it was our attitude to blame. [pre chorus] So we stopped explaining anything. You stopped asking us anything new. And somewhere underneath the silence we both know what this has turned into. [Chorus] You knew what was best for us. You said it with such certainty. You made the call, we took the fall, As you questioned our ability. Not every word is weaponised, Not every silence is keeping score. You wanted to make things better. We’re colder than before. So much colder than before Colder than before It’s hard to ignore [Bridge] It’s just a subject for a song The worst part isn’t that you got it wrong. Now, the moment has passed The problem is that you never asked. [Instrumental] [Wild sliding guitar solo] [Chorus] You knew what was best for us. You said it with such certainty. You made the call, we took the fall, As you questioned our ability. Now every word is weaponised, every silence is keeping score. You wanted to make things better. We’re colder than before. [Outro] You wanted to make things better. You wanted to make us whole. But when you decide we’re second class, You failed in your role. So much colder than before So much colder than before So much colder than before It’s hard to ignore
