Sing along to BigXthaPlug and Post Malone’s “Cold.” Read the full lyrics and understand the story of heartache and resilience in the song.
The lyrics for “Cold” by BigXthaPlug and Post Malone present a compelling dialogue about emotional distance and personal growth. Post Malone’s chorus immediately sets the tone with a declaration of a heart “made for runnin’ away,” using the repeated word “cold” to define a state of emotional detachment. BigXthaPlug’s first verse expands on this theme, connecting the physical cold to feelings of isolation and an admitted hardened heart. He references his youth and the complications that arrived with success, noting how love seemed to fade “the very moment I got richer.”

This provides a raw, autobiographical layer that fans of his previous work will recognize. The lyrics capture the conflict between independence and the desire for connection. BigXthaPlug’s second verse introduces a shift, expressing a determination to learn from past mistakes and fight for love. Lines like “I’ll walk through any webs to just have us here together” show a progression from the resigned coldness of the chorus towards a willingness to change. The interplay between Post Malone’s persistent, hook-driven refrain and BigXthaPlug’s detailed verses creates a dynamic narrative perfect for audience engagement. These lyrics offer a clear, relatable story for listeners to connect with during singalongs.

Lyrics
[Intro: Post Malone]
Mmm
[Chorus: Post Malone]
Hey, don’t tell me you want me to stay
My heart’s made for runnin’ away (Mmm)
I don’t know what else I could say (Much else to say)
But I’m so co-o-o-old
Like a long neck burnin’ through a pay check
Baby, I’m co-o-o-old, so cold (So cold)
[Verse 1: BigXthaPlug]
Ayy, and I hate when it’s cold, it remind me I’m alone
And that my heart is made of stone, plus I could never say I’m wrong
I always did things on my own but yet I never set the tone
And since I never set the tone, I tend to put it in these songs
At the age of twenty-one, this life got wicked
Felt all I ever needed was love, but now I beg for dishes
Then love started to fade the very moment I got richer
Like I faded from the pictures, all because I made decision
And I was told that you would stick around but where you at?
They also told me “Just believe”, I just know that you won’t come back
Feel like I’m chasin’ after make-believe, ran laps around this track
A thousand miles chasin’ for love that I just know I can’t get back, so why you tell me that?
[Chorus: Post Malone]
Hey, don’t tell me you want me to stay
My heart’s made for runnin’ away (Run away)
I don’t know what else I could say (What else to say, what else to say)
But I’m so co-o-o-old
Like a long neck burnin’ through a pay check, baby, I’m co-o-o-old
So cold (So cold)
[Verse 2: BigXthaPlug]
Was always told that as this shit get better, it get worse
Was times I could’ve gave my all, but I can tell you, I’m not perfect
I’m young and I’m still learnin’, so, otherwise, I’m still workin’
Just to be a better man, and that’s gon’ happen, that’s for certain
‘Cause for your love, I’ll fight, ’cause now I finally found my purpose
So tired of tossin’, turnin’, and runnin’, my heart is hurtin’
So just give me this chance, I swear I’ll try and make it better
I’ll walk through any webs to just have us here together (Ayy)
[Chorus: Post Malone]
Hey, don’t tell me you want me to stay
My heart’s made for runnin’ away
I don’t know what else I could say
But I’m so co-o-o-old
Like a long neck burnin’ through a pay check, baby, I’m co-o-o-old
So cold
[Outro: Post Malone]
(Baby, I’m so cold)
Don’t tell me you want me to stay
My heart’s made for runnin’ away
Baby I’m so co-o-o-old
Like a long neck burnin’ through a pay check, baby, I’m co-o-o-old
So cold (So cold)
So, so cold (Mmm)
