Woke up with my head in a foggy cloud,
Can’t breathe, can’t think, can’t make a sound.
Blanket fortress, tissues everywhere,
Cough drops scattered like I just don’t care.
Mirror says I look like death on ice,
Tea’s gone cold, now that ain’t nice.
Every bone feels twice its weight,
And I’m just prayin’ this won’t escalate.
(Pre-Chorus)
I tried to fake a smile today,
But even my smile caught the flu halfway.
I’m snifflin’, sneezin’, tryin’ to survive,
Counting the hours ‘til I feel alive.
(Chorus)
I got a cold and I’m feelin’ miserable,
Wrapped up tight, unfixable.
Voice all cracked, can’t sing a line,
Even Netflix can’t fix my mind.
World keeps spinning, I just lay still,
Fighting chills against my will.
Oh Lord, please send me through,
‘Cause I’m tired of this shade of blue.
(Verse 2)
Texted work, said “not coming in today,”
Even my dog won’t come my way.
Every sneeze feels like an earthquake’s sound,
Blanket mountain’s where I’m bound.
Steam from soup fogs up my screen,
Dreaming of the day I’m clean.
Body’s achin’, spirit low,
Someone hit fast forward, let me go.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m stuck between too hot and cold,
Wearing socks like I’m ninety years old.
Can’t taste, can’t talk, can’t find the light,
Been sick for hours, feels like a fight.
(Chorus)
I got a cold and I’m feelin’ miserable,
Wrapped up tight, unfixable.
Voice all cracked, can’t sing a line,
Even laughter sounds outta time.
World keeps spinning, I just lay still,
Fighting chills against my will.
Oh Lord, I’m beggin’ You,
Heal me up, pull me through.
(Bridge)
Maybe tomorrow I’ll breathe again,
Maybe sunlight will break this pain.
Till then I’ll sip and pray in bed,
And dream of life beyond this head.
(Outro)
Yeah, I got a cold, I’m miserable tonight,
But I know I’ll rise when I see daylight.
God, give me strength, I’m feelin’ low,
Even through the sniffles, I’ll let You show.
Cold and miserable — but not alone.
