I swear you're doing things to even up the score
I'm sorry dear
I'm sorry
But someone else will love me
Didn't have this?
You didn't have this?
I don't wanna see you
I don't wanna need to
because everything is wrong
What am I waiting on?
It's hard for me to sleep
But you can't keep me
It's hard for me to breathe
But you can't keep me
I only showed up cuz they said you wouldn't be there
You came hand in hand with her just to be seen
Where do you we go do we go
do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
From here
Cuz I don't wanna see you
I don't wanna need to
Cuz everything is wrong
What am I waiting on?
Its hard for me to sleep
But you can't keep me
Its hard for me to breathe
But you can't keep me
You hold your breathe waiting U
You'll stay underwater
Cuz we won't say it again and
I know its for the better
For the better
For the better
I know you've been hurtin'
I've been hurtin' too
So where do we go from here?
From here?
Its hard for me to sleep
But you can't keep me
Its hard for me to breathe
But you can't keep me
It's hard for me to breathe
But you can't keep me
It's hard for me to sleep
But you can't keep me
The first verse of Schuyler Fisk's song "Cold Heart" suggests that the singer isn't as invested in the relationship as before, and that the other person is trying to get even with her in some way. She expresses regret and apologizes, but affirms that someone else will love her. The chorus repeats the phrase "Cold heart" several times and expresses a desire to distance herself from the other person because things are wrong and she doesn't want to see or need them anymore. She questions what she's waiting for and suggests that it's difficult for her to sleep and breathe.
The second verse reveals that the singer only showed up somewhere because she was told the other person wouldn't be there, but they arrive with another person just to be seen. The bridge suggests that both parties have been hurt in the past, and the singer wonders where they can go from here. The final iteration of the chorus includes additional lines that emphasize the difficulty the singer has in sleeping and breathing but also affirms that the other person can't keep her.

Not my favorite anymore anymore
You're no longer the one I love the most
I swear you're doing things to even up the score
I believe you're trying to get back at me for something
I'm sorry dear
I apologize, my love
I'm sorry
I apologize
But someone else will love me
I'll find someone else who will love me
Didn't have this?
Were you lacking this?
You didn't have this?
Were you missing this?
Cold heart
You have a heart that's cold
I don't wanna see you
I don't want to look at you
I don't wanna need to
I don't want to have to need you
because everything is wrong
Because everything is not right
What am I waiting on?
What am I expecting to happen?
It's hard for me to sleep
I find it difficult to fall asleep
But you can't keep me
But you can't make me stay
It's hard for me to breathe
I feel like I can't breathe
I only showed up cuz they said you wouldn't be there
I came only because somebody told me you wouldn't be present
You came hand in hand with her just to be seen
You arrived together with her just to be noticed
Where do you we go do we go
Where do we go?
do we go from here?
What direction do we take from here?
Where do we go from here?
What direction should we take from here?
Cuz I don't wanna see you
Because I don't want to see you
Cuz everything is wrong
Because everything is not right
Its hard for me to breathe
It's difficult for me to breathe
You hold your breathe waiting U
You're holding your breath while waiting for me
You'll stay underwater
You'll remain submerged
Cuz we won't say it again and
Because we won't repeat it again
I know its for the better
I know it's for the best
For the better
For the best
I know you've been hurtin'
I know you've been in pain
I've been hurtin' too
I'm in pain as well
So where do we go from here?
So what should we do now?
Its hard for me to sleep
It's difficult for me to fall asleep
Its hard for me to breathe
It's difficult for me to breathe
But you can't keep me
But you can't make me stay
It's hard for me to breathe
I feel like I can't breathe
But you can't keep me
But you can't make me stay
It's hard for me to sleep
I have trouble falling asleep
But you can't keep me
But you can't make me stay
