Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You don't have to say goodbye

I don't cry anymore

You don't have to come outside

I don't try anymore

You don't have to meet my friends

I don't laugh anymore

You can go out with your friends

I'll be fine anymore

[Chorus]

Because

Ooh, cold love

Then you step outside

Cold love

Oh, you can feel it

[Verse 2]

You don't have to be afraid

I don't pry anymore

You don't need to state a case

I don't lie anymore

You don't trust me to say you're sorry

I don't love you anymore

You don't have to rub my back

I'm not high anymore

[Chorus]

Because

Ooh, cold love

Then you step outside

Cold love

Oh, you can feel it

Ooh, cold love

What you're feeling

Cold love

[Verse 3]

You don't have to play pretend

I'm not young anymore

You don't have to count to ten

I don't run anymore

You don't have to first be friends

Got no time anymore

You can put your heart aside

It's not mine anymore

[Outro]

You gave me the cold love

Now I'll never love no one else

You gave me cold love

You gave me cold love

Now I'll never love

You gave me cold love
