Cold World
Teddy Lyrics

From one friend to another
As your friend, I want to talk to you about something that seems to be bothering you.

It seems that something's being bothering you
I can tell that there's something weighing heavily on your mind.

If you got a minute maybe there something I can say or do
If you have some time, maybe I can offer some words of comfort or assistance.

See, I realized that life has it's changes
I've come to understand that life can be unpredictable and constantly changing.

And sometimes things just don't go right
At times, things can go wrong even when we try our best.

But here's one thing I want you to think about
I want to share something that might help you cope with difficulties.

As you lie on your bed tonight
Before you go to sleep this evening.

When the whole world seems against you
When everything feels like it's working against you.

And your whole life seems unborn
When everything feels uncertain and unclear.

And all you ever wanted was a little peace
When all you desire is some peace of mind.

I could understand just how you feel
I empathize with what you're going through.

But a little bit of peace of mind
Finding even a small amount of mental tranquility.

Nowadays is so hard to find
Can be a difficult and rare thing to come by in the present day.

And you can't even find it in your sleep
Even when you're trying to rest, you can't find peace of mind.

Here some advise I think you should keep
I have some advice that might help you.

And baby
Listen closely

Don't let this cold world get you down
Try not to let the harshness of reality negatively impact your mental state.

(Be strong, hold on)
(Be resilient, persevere through difficulties.)

Don't let this cold world get you down, down, down
Don't let life's hardships defeat you.

(Don't let it get you down, no)
(Don't let it get the best of you.)

Listen
Pay attention to what I'm about to say.

Dry your eyes, don't cry no more
Stop crying and wiping your tears.

What in the world do you think that a friend is here for?
Friends are here to support each other through hard times.

See there's always something that we can do, me and you
Together, we can find ways to make things better.

So when things don't always go your way
When things don't happen as planned.

You've got to prepare yourself each and every day
You need to build resilience and mental strength every day.

For the things that life will put you through
To be ready for the challenges that life will bring.

I'm telling you, will you listen to me?
I'm trying to share with you some words of wisdom, will you pay attention?

When times are hard and friends are few
In times of adversity, finding supportive friends can be difficult.

(Don't let it get the best of you, don't let it get the best of you)
(Don't let the negativity bring you down.)

I know the road sometimes seems rough
The path of life can be difficult and challenging at times.

And the going gets a little tough
When things get challenging and seem to not have a clear solution.

But hold on, hold on
Stay strong and don't give up.

I wonder whatever happened to, oh baby
I'm curious to know what changed about you, my friend.

The happy face that I once knew
The smiling and cheerful person that I used to know.

You can't let nothing, you can't let nothing
You cannot allow any negative experiences to ruin the good in life.

Nothing ever bother you, and oh, don't do it
(Don't let anything get you down and diminish your joy in life.)

I know some folks life comes easy
Some people are fortunate to have an easier life.

To others life comes hard
Others face many challenges in their life.

Some folks need to keep on trying
Some people need to persist and continue trying despite obstacles.

While others just get tired
While others may give up more easily.

Don't let this cold, cold world get you down
Stay strong in the face of challenges, don't let them affect you negatively.

I need to share the things that I've learned
I want to impart the lessons I've learned.

I don't wanna see nobody else get burned
I don't want anyone else to suffer the way you are now.

Don't let this cold, cold world get you down
Don't allow hardships to negatively dictate your emotions or life.

Don't let this cold, cold world get you down
Stay positive and resilient in the face of hardship.

Don't let this cold, cold world get you down
No matter how cold the world might feel, don't let it bring you down.
