Cold New Me

[Intro]
Yeah
Been too kind
That version’s dead
Watch this
[Verse 1]
I gave love
Y’all gave me lessons
Turned my trust
Into a weapon
Every scar
Now a stripe on my jacket
Every “you can’t”
Turned into habit
I went quiet
Started counting my breath
Turned my heart into iron
My fear into debt
If I text you “we good”
Know it’s capped in a sentence
Only thing I really owe you
Is distance
[Chorus]
It’s time to lock in
Cold heart, no feelings (yeah)
You gon’ watch me win
While you swallow that regret
You created this
Say hello to the cold new me (hey!)
You pushed, now I’m past that edge
You gon’ learn what alone looks like
[Verse 2]
Y’all laughed
When I spoke on a vision
Now you ask how I did it
Like I owe you commission
I was eating my pain
You were feeding your ego
Now I’m writing you out
Like a scene full of extras
I remember who lied
When I needed the truth
Who was gone when it rained
Now I’m guarding the roof
You can knock, you can beg
But that door never shifts
’Cause forgive ain’t forget
And forget don’t exist
[Chorus]
It’s time to lock in
Cold heart, no feelings (woo)
You gon’ watch me win
While you swallow that regret
You created this
Say hello to the cold new me
You pushed, now I’m past that edge
You gon’ learn what alone looks like
[Bridge]
I don’t crave your praise
I don’t need your hand
I was drowning in your doubt
Now I breathe on command
Every name on that list
Getting cut from the scene (yeah)
You woke up a ghost in me
Now I haunt every dream
[Chorus]
It’s time to lock in
Cold heart, no feelings (no love)
You gon’ watch me win
While you swallow that regret
You created this
Say hello to the cold new me (new me)
You pushed, now I’m past that edge
You gon’ learn what alone looks like
