The song "Cold" by Crossfade reminds me of all the times I’ve hurt the ones who love me most. " Looking back at me I see/that I never really got it right/I never stopped to think of you", describes how I feel because I never stopped to think about what pain my words or decisions would have on loved ones.

"I’m always wrapped up in things I cannot win", fits me because I myself get wrapped up in things and always lose something or someone. More than once I’ve got myself wrapped up in a relationship and let that come between me and my best friends. In one instance I lost one of them the whole time I was with the guy, but in the end she saved me from one of the biggest mistakes of my life. My other best friend confronted me with her thoughts about my behavior and helped me straighten out.

Everyone has told lies but I have told lies that have changed peoples views of me. The lyrics "And I’m sorry about all the lies/maybe in a different light/you could see me stand on my own again.", states perfectly how I feel. My lies have weakened me and hopefully one day all those I lied to will be able to trust in me and see me stand strong.

I’m the kind of person who keeps my anger inside but sometimes I just lose it. The lyrics state "I never really wanted you to see/the screwed up side of me that I keep/locked up inside of me so deep it always seems to get to me". Thats how I am, I never wanted anyone to see the screwed up side of me but when the anger builds up I snap on my loved ones more than anyone else, because they are the ones who are always near me.

"Cause now I can see/you were the antidote that got me by/something strong like a drug that got me high/I never meant to be so cold", reminds of me how happy I was when a certain someone, who shall remain nameless, was in my life. He had a positive effect on me, when I was around him I was always smiling and happy and I just felt like I was the top of the world. He made me feel important in a way no one else could. He is no longer in my life because things changed and we had kept secrets from each other... and everyone else to long. "I never really wanted you to go/so many things you should have known/I guess for me theres just no hope/I never meant to be so cold". When I hear that verse my relationship with him comes to mind, remembering all the good times, all the lies and all the bad times.

This song has such a personal meaning to me. It reminds me of my best friends and how much they have saved me from mistakes, reminds me of all the lies I’ve told, reminds me of the people I’ve hurt, and it reminds me of a past relationship. The chorus of the song, " What I really meant to say/is I’m sorry for the way I am/I never meant to be so cold to you", is everything I feel and want to say to those I’ve let down or hurt.
