Dalam lagu "Cold Shoulder" yang diciptakan oleh Adele, sang narator mengungkapkan rasa sakit yang mendalam karena sikap dingin dan menyakitkan dari orang yang mereka cintai. Penyanyi tersebut menuduh bahwa orang tersebut menghindar dari tanggung jawab atas ketegangan dalam hubungan mereka, alih-alih menyalahkan narator. Lirik tersebut mengeksplorasi perasaan pengkhianatan dan kecemburuan yang dialami narator, saat mereka merindukan cinta dan perhatian dari orang yang mereka kasihi.
Cold Shoulder Lyrics
Adele
You say it's all in my head
And the things I think just don't make sense
So where you been then, don't go all coy
Don't turn it round on me like it's my fault
See I can see that look in your eyes
The one that shoots me each and every time
You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
These days when I see you
You make it look like see-through
Do tell me why you waste our time
When your heart ain't admitting you're not satisfied
You know I know just how you feel
I'm starting to find myself feeling that way too
When you grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
Time and time again, I play the role of fool
(Just for you)
Even in the daylight when you think I don't see you
Try to look for things I hear but our eyes never find
'Though I do know how you play
You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
And the things I think just don't make sense
So where you been then, don't go all coy
Don't turn it round on me like it's my fault
See I can see that look in your eyes
The one that shoots me each and every time
You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
These days when I see you
You make it look like see-through
Do tell me why you waste our time
When your heart ain't admitting you're not satisfied
You know I know just how you feel
I'm starting to find myself feeling that way too
When you grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
Time and time again, I play the role of fool
(Just for you)
Even in the daylight when you think I don't see you
Try to look for things I hear but our eyes never find
'Though I do know how you play
You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
