Cold Love
Corner Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who's gonna love you when I'm gone
Like I'm in a shadowy storm
Who's gonna ooh

Who's gonna fall down to your knees?
Call us a fragile futile thing
Who's gonna ooh
Who never loved the love that I've drawn
(from) Your heart a cold and empty soul
Who's gonna ooh

Who's gonna fall down to your knees
Call us a fragile futile thing
Who's gonna ooh

My love
Not cold enough for yours
All my love
Not cold enough for yours

All my love
Not cold enough for yours
I don't even know
I don't even know ooh

Stop breaking my heart
If I go down you'll bury me
You know your love confines me so
Winner to the darkest
So I bought her it all to fall in love so carelessly
You know your love confines me so
You know your love confines me

And all my love
Not cold enough for yours
All my love
Not cold enough for yours

All my love
Not cold enough for yours
I don't even know




I don't even know ooh
Ooh

Overall Meaning

The song "Cold Love" by Corner Boy is a poignant depiction of a relationship that has come to a bitter end. The chorus of the song poses the question of who will love the subject when the singer is gone. This question is met with the realization that the love given was never enough, as the subject's heart is described as "cold and empty." The singer acknowledges that their love was "not cold enough," indicating that the subject required a kind of love that was beyond the capacity of the singer to provide.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of confinement caused by love. The singer references the suffocating nature of the love that the subject possesses, which is so deep that it caused the singer to fall in love "carelessly." This love is described as taking the singer to the "darkest" place, indicating a kind of emotional pain caused by the relationship.


Overall, "Cold Love" is a song that explores both the beauty and the pain of love. The lyrics suggest that love can be all-consuming and that, once we have given ourselves fully to another person, we can feel trapped and confined. However, the song also highlights the importance of love and suggests that, despite the pain and heartbreak, it is still worth pursuing.
