“Cold Blooded” finds Khalid heartbroken. He’s given his heart to a girl who’s treated it poorly, but he’s unwilling to take it back – whilst he wants an explanation, he also wants her just as much as he did before.
He’s “cold blooded” – without his heart, he needs her contact to sustain his life. W...
Cold Blooded Lyrics
[Intro]
Cold blooded, cold blooded
[Verse 1]
The way you've been treating me is getting out of hand
And you walk around like you're so innocent
I gave you my heart and it melted in your arms
This isn't a place that I belong
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel your fear
Surrounded by your skin
You feel my heartbeat vibrate so violent
Inside of your head
I see it in your eyes
You're no good for me
And love is blind
[Chorus]
Ooh, and cold blooded, cold blooded
You want what I'm giving up
But my love is not enough
Cold blooded, cold blooded
And I can’t feel my fingertips
But you feel better when we touch
[Verse 2]
I lost my sight and you're leading me on
Is it 'cause you're used to guys always doing you wrong?
Do you really love me?
Or is it just revenge?
Lately you don't seem so genuine
[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel your fear
Surrounded by your skin
You feel my heartbeat vibrate so violent
Inside of your head
I see it in your eyes (see it in your eyes)
That you're no good for me
And love is blind
[Chorus]
Ooh, and cold blooded, cold blooded
You want what I'm giving up
But my love is not enough
Cold blooded, cold blooded
And I can't feel my fingertips
But you feel better when we touch
[Bridge]
Mmmm
Fill me up, keep me hot
Use me up of all I've got
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel your fear
Surrounded by your skin
You feel my heartbeat vibrate so violent
Inside of your head
I see it in your eyes
You're no good for me
And love is blind
[Chorus]
Ooh, and cold blooded, cold blooded
You want what I'm giving up
But my love is not enough
Cold blooded, cold blooded
And I can't feel my fingertips
But you feel better when we touch
[Outro]
Mmmm
Fill me up, keep me hot
Use me up of all I've got
Cold blooded, cold blooded (mmmm)
Cold blooded, cold blooded (mmmm)

Was "Cold Blooded" autobiographical?
I felt like it was very honest to myself. It was about a relationship that wasn’t healthy. It’s like, even though you treated me bad, at the same time, you treated me really good. The way you’ve been treating me is getting out of hand, but you’re walking around like you’re so innocent. It’s like the...
How did this song come together?
I wrote this song in London. I love the acoustic-ness of it. I love the way the beat sways. It’s almost like you can hear crackling. It feels cold.
Why the straightforward title?
A lot of people, when they listen to a song, they think the meaning is going to be kind of different from what the title is. I was like, “No. I want all these titles to be relative to the music.”
