Cold Lyrics

Looking back at me I see that
I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you,
I'm always wrapped up in things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by,
Something strong like a drug that gets me high

What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so Cold
Never meant to be so

Cold to you, I'm sorry about all the lies,
Maybe in a different light,
You can see me stand on my own again
Cause now I can see
You are the antidote that got me by,
Something strong like a drug that got me high

What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold

I never meant to be, so cold

I never really wanted you to see
The screwed-up side of me
That I keep locked inside of me so deep,
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me there's just no hope;
I never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am (Is I'm sorry for the way)
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold

Cold

Crossfade lead singer Ed Sloan wrote this song not about a specific person, but about himself. In our 2011, interview, Sloan explained: "Back then, I had a girlfriend, I saw my family every day. I love my mother and my father and that sort of thing. And I started really sinking my life into writing that first album of which 'Cold' was one of the songs. And I noticed the distance starting to grow between my girlfriend and I and my family a little bit, as far as the time that I was able to spend.

Music is really the only way that I emote to people. I'm a hermit kind of guy. I spend my time alone. So I tend to write songs about my life to people that I love - 'Cold' is just like that. I wrote that song after going through that period of time when I was neglecting a lot of my friends and my family and my loved ones because of my music. Which wound up paying off, but I lost some friends because of all the time that I devoted to that record. And so I think that was my song saying, 'Listen, I'm sorry for the way that I am. I don't mean to be this cold to you. This is what I have to do.' And just making my apologies via song. I never really thought about both of those songs and how similar they are, just from different times of my life."

When Sloan started writing this song, he was "just really f-ing mad." Said the singer, "I just sat down with a drum kit and recorded a bit, and I immediately started out with that heavy riff. And I started singing at the top of my lungs (singing), 'Looking back at me' - that one definitely started as heavy as I could get it, because I was trying to get out my emotions to them, like, 'Look, it's not my fault, I can't help the way I am.'"

About a year after this song found the charts, Crossfade's record label had them record an acoustic version of the song, which proved very popular.

Crossfade's first single, this reached #2 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart spending 46 weeks on the list. For a time it was the longest-running hit in the chart's history until 30 Seconds To Mars overtook them with the 52-week-charting "The Kill (Bury Me)."

Cold Lyrics

Cold

Frontman John Grant told Uncut magazine January 2014: "'Cold' is definitely a step up in my songwriting, and that's because I wrote it about Jeff (Linsenmaier, drums). I was mad at him. So it was the first time I connected with raw emotion and wrote down how I felt. That's what works the best: unadulterated feeling and passion. Cold was probably the first glimpse."

Grant explained to Uncut why he was angry with his drummer: "I always had the best relationships with my guitarists," he said. "I didn't fill my drama was particularly good. I felt he was holding back because he was angry with me for not letting him have the amount of control that he wanted."

Czars founder member Jeff Linsenmaier remained with The Czars until after the release of Goodbye in 2004, when five of the six members of the band over the span of nine months, leaving John Grant as the sole remaining member. Linsenmaier has since worked with The Fray acting as the drum technician on their 2009 self-titled album.
