[Verse 1]

Trying my hardest to keep my head over water

Truth is, I'm numb, too, we starting to feel redundant

We pick apart and compare and we tear each other down

Losing our minds, so we act like we hate each other

[Pre-Chorus]

But I can't pretend no more

Trying to be a friend, but it's hard

I ain't even mad, I know it's not your fault

I'm not trying to offend no one

We all play our part

Try to fit in, but I can't fake it like that

[Chorus]

Cold as ice

Cold, and we froze in sight

This world can be cold as ice

Nothing like they say it's like

Keep your dreams close at night, yeah

[Verse 2]

I'm 'bout to switch up, I'm tired of taking the high road

Don't gotta answer to nobody just 'cause you say so

Fuck all the stereotypical shit, make my own rules

'Cause they never see all the pain and the struggle we go through

'Cause when you look in the mirror

It's kinda hard to be fearless

When there's so much on your shoulders

I'm kinda feeling the same way

You see, I preach independence

But I'm too scared to be lonely

I need somebody to hold me

Just know you'll never control me

[Pre-Chorus]

But I just can't understand it

Girls fuckin' dudes for some tracks

And it breaks it heart, it's so sad

'Cause I know you're better than that

And I feel it, too, I feel it, too

But it's nothing new, it's nothing new

[Chorus]

Cold as ice

Cold, and we froze in sight

This world can be cold as ice

Nothing like they say it's like

Keep your dreams close at night, yeah

[Outro]

We're just going backwards, baby

We don't change then we won't make it

Tell me why you're hesitating

Ask me how I do it, baby

Check your priorities

Mm, baby girl, check your priorities

Don't let these men tell you what you're gonna be

Mm, baby girl, check your priorities

Oh, nah

You need to, I need to

I need to, I need to

I need to, I need to
