Cold Heart (Shearer)
About Cold Heart
An angry break-up
song arising from not seeing a situation for what it was and only
for what I wanted it to be. Several relationships down the line I realised
the song could be sung about me too. Life seems like that sometimes (okay I'm starting to think all the time): trying
to show us both sides of the story (so that we can be more understanding). I guess It's Just Not There is the other side of the coin.
The song has surprised me by being a bit of a "hit" when I play it live: I didn't ever think a "negative" song would be so popular. As it's evolved, it's grown into something that surpasses the original recorded version and I'd like to re-record it soon.
Thanks to Emilia Maria Zbuka for being the "cold heart".

You're so cool
I burn to touch
I thought it was just a cold front
But in the heat of the moment
I soon found out
All you've got is just a cold heart
You're nobody's fool
You don't care too much
I hoped it was just a cold front
But in the heat of the moment
I soon found out
All you've got is just a cold heart
I fell for glacial passion
Under your spell
I thought I was in heaven
Too cold for hell
But in the heat of the moment
I soon found out
All you've got is just a cold heart
It makes me shiver
I was in love with you
You looked so nice
But you're as cold as ice
And in the heat of the moment
I soon found out
All you've got is just a cold heart
What has made you this way?
What is the pain that you've frozen away?
Is there a wound you hide?
Why are you so numb inside?
What has happend to you before?
Could you trust enough to thaw?
Could you shed a melting tear?
Would you ever let anyone get near?
You say you don't want to be
tied down
You want to be free and travel around
Well I hope you don't get too travel sick
It's a long way to the Artic
You're an Artic wolf in sheep's
disguise
But I've pulled the wool from over my eyes
So go and find yourself a polar bear
Go on, go and see if I care
'Cos all you've got is just a cold heart
All you've got is just a cold heart
All you've got is just a cold heart
All you've got is just a cold heart
