Cold as You Lyrics

Cover art for Cold as You lyrics by Taylor Swift

"You have a way of coming easily to me" I think this means that the guy in question is someone she feels a connection with, someone she feels comfortable around. "And when you take, you take the very best of me" Again, she's describing this guy. This line is pretty simple, she's saying that this guy brings out the very best of her. "So I start a fight cause I need to feel something" This line I can definitely relate to. She wants to get some type of emotion out of this guy she loves, even anger, so she starts a fight. "And you do what you want cause I'm not what you wanted" Unfortunately, I think this guy responds to her anger in a way that he doesn't care what she thinks of him. So he says some rash things, takes part in the fight. "Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day" I think this line means that this guy does something wayyy rash and something she wasn't expecting, and she finally sees the light. She finally sees that he doesn't really care about her and he isn't as perfect as she thought he was. "Just walk away, ain't no use defending words that you will never say" The words that he will never say are probably words of compliment, like "you're beautiful" and "I love you." Because he never said those words, he doesn't have to stay and say things like "Well I really DID mean it...." so he just walks away. "And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through" Pretty much a self-explanatory line. She thinks it through and decides.... "I've never been anywhere cold as you" Cold as in evil, mean, insulting, stuff like that. She uses it as a metaphor. She's saying that he's the meanest person, place, or thing she has come across. "You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray And I stood there loving you and wished them all away" Basically, I think this means that he puts up walls between him and her because he doesn't want her, but she loves him so much that she tries to get rid of them. "And you come away with a great little story Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you" I think she is saying that this guy has the nerve to go tell everyone what happened and act like she was just a little mess, a little dreamer who was daring enough to love him, "You never did give a damn thing honey but I cried, cried for you And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you (Died for you)" This line is describing what she felt for him, how far she would have gone to win him over. Although he didn't deserve it. "Every smile you fake is so condescending" She's finally seeing through his pretty face and seeing what exactly is behind the smile. Every smile you fake is so condescending "Counting all the scars you made" I think that with this line she is saying that she suspects that she isn't the first heart he has broken. Well...that was my contribution. Hope it helped!
