Complete lyrics for “Cold” by Majid Jordan – sing every line. Production by Jordan Ullman, A. Lustig. Out now.
“Cold” reads like a negotiation with a partner who has already left the room. Majid Al-Maskati opens with a verse that sets the terms: “I need someone that’s all mine / I need someone to make time.” The lines are direct, almost vulnerable in their simplicity. The second half of the verse lowers the bar even further: “I don’t ask for perfection / I need love and affection.” The word “ask” does the heavy lifting. It implies a concession already made, a standard already lowered. The singer is not demanding the extraordinary. He is requesting the baseline. And still, the chorus meets him with confusion rather than comfort: “I wanna know how it gets so cold / I wanna know why I feel so alone.”

The refrain, a single phrase repeated eight times, tracks a slow unraveling. “So alone” functions less as a lyric and more as a loop the singer cannot exit. The track does not offer a resolution, a bridge, or a third verse. The chorus returns, the same question, the same lack of answer. The song ends on a final repetition of the refrain, softer now, the loneliness not solved but shared. For karaoke or a singalong, the chorus is the anchor. The official visualizer includes the lyrics on screen.

— LYRICS —
I need something that’s so far
I need something in your heart
Show me more than attention
I need love and affection
I wanna know how it gets so cold
I wanna know why I feel so alone
I wanna know how it gets so cold
I wanna know why I feel so alone (so alone)
So alone
Oh, oh, so alone
So alone
I need someone that’s all mine
I need someone to make time
I don’t ask for perfection
I need love and affection
I wanna know how it gets so cold
I wanna know why I feel so alone
I wanna know how it gets so cold
I wanna know why I feel so alone (so alone)
(So alone) so alone
(So alone) so alone
Yeah, so alone (so alone)
(I’m so) so alone
So alone
(I’m so) so alone
(So alone)
I wanna know how it gets so cold
I wanna know why I feel so alone
I wanna know how it gets so cold
I wanna know why I feel so alone (oh)
I wanna know how it gets so cold (oh)
I wanna know why I feel so alone (oh)
I wanna know how it gets so cold (oh)
I wanna know why I feel so alone (so alone)
(Oh, no)
