they say i’m cold hearted

[Verse 1] They say I’m cold You don’t even know me You just met my armor Thought that was the whole me Quiet in the corner Reading all your moves You mistook my silence For something to abuse [Pre-Chorus] You tug at every scar like a loose thread Then act surprised when it all sheds You wanted something real Not a preview But you don’t like the mirror when it shows you [Chorus] I’m not cold-hearted I’m guarded I’m just protecting my peace Call me a bitch like it’s something harsh But I’m that shit Honestly The version of me that you get Depends on how you move with me Keep digging past my gentle side Don’t be shocked by what you see (what you see) [Verse 2] You kept picking at the quiet Poking at the calm Turned my softest answers To a ticking bomb You wanted all my secrets Didn’t earn the key Now you meeting someone You never thought I’d be [Pre-Chorus] You kept scratching at the surface Past the parts that were kind You unwrapped every warning Then blamed me for what you find [Chorus] I’m not cold-hearted I’m guarded I’m just protecting my peace Call me a bitch like it’s something harsh But I’m that shit Honestly The version of me that you get Depends on how you move with me Keep digging past my gentle side Don’t be shocked by what you see (what you see) [Bridge] Yeah I got a heart of gold But don’t take my key Don’t twist my love Into a weapon on me You invited this storm Then ran from the rain You shaped this version With every little pain (hey) [Chorus] I’m not cold-hearted I’m guarded I’m just protecting my peace Call me a bitch like it’s something harsh But I’m that shit Honestly The version of me that you get Is just your own energy So if the fire ever burns too bright Remember you lit that in me
