Marsha Ambrosius - Cold War

 

This poetic song speaks real and feels deep, bringing out the truth on how hard times in relationships can really be. Sometimes you have to go beyond the surface and look deeper to understand the frustration and understand how far someone may be willing to go for someone they really care about to save their relationship. 

 
 

Song Lyrics: 

[Hook] 

(This is a...) 

This is a cold war we’re fighting 

And neither one of us wanna surrender 

Now we’re slowly dying 

This is a cold war we’re fighting 

And if you even cared at all 

You wouldn’t start this cold war 

 
 

[Verse 1] 

Love is a war zone 

We’re standing in the middle 

Yes, we are baby 

You draw your weapon 

As I’m loading up my missile 

With no one to save us 

Guess you keep your guard up 

Hoping I’ll climb over 

And I do 

Every time, I do 

Guess we’re both too stubborn 

To say we’re hurting so we stay 

When it’s probably best to walk away 

 
 

[Hook] 

This is a cold war we’re fighting 

And neither one of us wanna surrender 

Now we’re slowly dying 

This is a cold war we’re fighting 

And if you even cared at all 

You wouldn’t start this cold war 

 
 

[Verse 2] 

I loved you then 

You hate me now 

Why can’t we stand our ground? 

You say it’s me, but I blame you for who we are right now 

One thing about you 

Is you don’t think I love you 

But I do 

That’s nothing new 

‘Cause we’re both too stubborn 

To say were hurting so we stay 

When it’s probably best to walk away 

 
 

[Hook] 

This is a cold war we’re fighting 

And neither one of us wanna surrender 

Now we’re slowly dying 

This is a cold war we’re fighting 

And if you even cared at all 

You wouldn’t start this cold war 

 
 

[Bridge] 

I’m banging on the walls 

I’m going through withdrawals 

You got my head spinning like a coaster 

I’m throwing out your clothes 

I’m changing all the codes 

I’m ‘bout to send you right back to your mother’s 

I think I’m running out 

I’ve been having doubts 

I wanna leave you but you make me stay 

 

So you can’t have this hold over me 
 

This is a cold war, we're fighting 

And neither one of us wants to surrender, love is slowly dying 

This is a cold, cold war we're fighting 

And did you even care that 

Oh-oh, you wanna start this cold war
