Cold Lesson

Cold Lesson [Intro] Yeah… You don’t lose people like me… You lose yourself trying to replace me ⸻ [Verse 1] People come and go, yeah I seen it before But you played heaven while you rotted to the core Angel in my arms, but a devil in disguise Said you felt the same while you fed me your lies Every word you spoke had a crack in the frame But I ignored the truth just to keep you the same I gave you my trust, you weaponized pain Now I’m built from the fire, I don’t break, I remain You were never real, just a role that you played Switching masks every second like a debt unpaid Said you cared, said you stayed, said you needed me close Now I see it clear — I was feeding your ego ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I don’t trust smiles, I don’t trust eyes Every “I miss you” just another disguise You were a blessing? Nah, that’s a lie You were the lesson that taught me to die inside ⸻ [Chorus] I went cold, I went numb, I don’t bleed for you All that love that I gave? Yeah, I buried it too You had gold in your hands, now it’s dust in the wind You don’t get me again, you don’t get me again I’m a ghost in your head, yeah I live there rent-free Every night, every thought, yeah you’re haunted by me I took pain, turned it power, now I walk like a king You lost everything real… for a fake little thing ⸻ [Verse 2] You hide behind words, but you don’t even try No time, no effort — just empty replies This fight’s one-sided, I carried it all I’d rather walk away than keep begging for more Truth is, you were scared of something real You felt it deep but you don’t know how to deal So you push it away, act like it’s nothing But silence speaks louder than anything you’re saying You keep telling yourself that it’s all in your head That it’s easier to walk than to feel what we had You built your own prison, line after line Now you’re stuck in the story you repeat every night You hide in your silence, pretend you don’t care But I know that look when the truth hits your stare You don’t lack feelings — you just run when it’s real And that’s something you’ll never admit or reveal ⸻ [Bridge] You were like a drug, yeah I needed that high But I beat that addiction, I cut off the supply I never needed you — you were just a rush Something that numbed me when it all got too much You made me feel good but it was all a lie Every dose was poison slowly killing me inside You showed me heaven just to drag me through hell Now I’m clean from your love — and I’m doing well ⸻ [Verse 3] Go back to your place, yeah stay in your lane We don’t share the same blood, we don’t carry the same pain You play safe, I go deep, that’s the difference between us You fear what is real, I became what it does I take short pain, you’ll suffer for life Every choice that you made cutting deep like a knife You betrayed something rare, something pure, something true Now you stuck with yourself — tell me, how does that feel? You’ll scroll through your phone, yeah you’ll see my name Heart skip for a second, then you drown in shame You’ll remember the moments you tried to erase But you can’t delete truth, it’s burned in your brain ⸻ [Chorus] I went cold, I went numb, I don’t bleed for you All that love that I gave? Yeah, I buried it too You had gold in your hands, now it’s dust in the wind You don’t get me again, you don’t get me again I’m a ghost in your head, yeah I live there rent-free Every night, every thought, yeah you’re haunted by me I took pain, turned it power, now I walk like a king You lost everything real… for a fake little thing ⸻ [Outro] I know who I am now… You made sure of that And you? You’ll spend your whole life… Wondering what it would’ve been… If you didn’t choose fear over something real
