This song is about the loss of a relationship. The singer feels lost without the person he used to be with, but she thinks too highly of herself to re-enter the relationship.
The song discusses being unable to move on from losing the person one cares about, and the fears that if you let the person...
[Verse 1]
Can't you figure it out
Or do I have to write it down for you?
I know what you're about
I'm not afraid to shut it down
Over and over and over and over again
[Chorus]
Your vanity's so cold
(Your vanity's so cold)
Your vanity's so cold in my
Heart, soul, please, let go
Your vanity's so cold
(Your vanity's so cold)
[Verse 2]
I guess anything goes
When you're waiting for the one that you love
It's not ready
Hey, man, wouldn't you know
That nobody should be waiting for love?
(Nobody should be waiting for love)
Over and over and over and over again
[Chorus]
Your vanity's so cold
(Your vanity's so cold)
Your vanity's so cold in my
Heart, soul, please, let go
Your vanity's so cold
(Your vanity's so cold)
[Bridge 1]
And I've searched my soul, yeah
For you today
But this feeling is getting old
It won't go away
I'm lost without you here
My love, it lays
Under the cornerstone
That the builder threw away
I've searched my soul, yeah
Nothing ever came out
And this feeling is getting old
Right back in the cold now
Right back into the cold, yeah
It's all I've ever known
All I've ever known, yeah
[Bridge 2]
And I have searched my soul, yeah
For you, it's true
But nothing ever comes out right
And I swear, I'm headed back to the other side, yeah
I can't sit around and watch us both die
Oh no, I cannot watch us both die
Oh no, not I
You know I've got to try
[Outro]
I need you here
I've tried and I'll try again
You are my friend
So this is not the end

Johnny said: “This song is one of my favorites. It’s got more than one speed, more than one color. Have you ever been upset with someone and maybe a little harsh, but then realize that maybe you overreacted and you find a softer, more sincere piece inside you that wants to fix a relationship? That’s...
