Rihanna - Cold Case Love Lyrics

On my roof
Dark, and I'm burning a rose
I don't need proof
I'm torn apart and numb

What you did to me was a crime
Cold case love
And I let you reach me one more time
But that's enough

Your love was breaking the law
But I needed a witness
So pick me up when it's over
It don't make any difference

Will it ever be solved?
Or am I taking the fall?
Truth was there all along
Tell me, how did we miss it?

We opened up a cold case love
And it got the best of us
And now prints, pictures, and white outlines
Are all that's left at the scene of a crime of a cold case love

Should've investigated
But love blinded eyes couldn't see, no
And then I tried to cage it
But your love ain't the kind you can keep

Release me now 'cause I did my time
Of this cold case love
My heart's no longer cold and confined
I've had enough

Your love was breaking the law
But I needed a witness
So pick me up when it's over
It don't make any difference

Will it ever be solved?
Or am I taking the fall?
Truth was there all along
Tell me, how did we miss it?

We opened up a cold case love
And it got the best of us
And now prints, pictures, and white outlines
Are all that's left at the scene of a crime of a cold case love

We lost our way, took this too far
Now I'll never find the pieces of my heart
We've lost enough looking for a truth
That was here all along

Cold case love
And it got the best of us
And now prints, pictures, and white outlines
Are all that's left at the scene of a crime of a cold case love

We opened up a cold case love
It got the best of us
And now prints, pictures, and white outlines
Are all that's left at the scene of a crime of a cold case love

  I'm listening to this album 24/7 almost, and I keep wetting my eyes at this song, at exactly the moment where she puts the slow bridge at exactly 3:OO of the song... I met her @ the premiere of LGOE Tour, she's awesome & so kiiind but this song makes me feel her more than when I touched her in real life... Luv the girl! Become my rolemodel on "so" many levels!

  This song is so deep and meaningful. Rihanna has really stepped her game in this album!! I think it refers to her incident with chris. Justin really poured out the words in this song as well as all of the other writers. DV can take so many forms. What she endured was an awakening. I can personally relate to this song because I went through this though not to the extent of what words actually say in this song. I am glad I got out before it could get that far.

  When rihanna talks about caging it i think she means trying to cage chris and the hurt he brought hur. she realised she couldnt keep the hurt away and that with good comes bad, just the bad overweighed the good so she did the mature thing. Love yah Rihanna x

  this song helps those of us who are curious be able to see what she felt....and it makes me wanna cry...almost did....but it shows that rihanna is a strong women under a celebrity's title but just like every other human being she has feelings and this song expresses them...she knows what she wants and what she needs to do

  I can relate to this song to a T and i can't stop listening to it!To me this song defines the night of the infamous "incident." At the beggining she says, "What you did you did to me was a crime" & "And I let you reach me one more time, but that's enough" There she expresses when they got back together after the fight and she finally realized that she had had enough. "LOve blinded eyes couldn't see, and then i tried to cage it" In her 20/20 interview she said, "Love is so blind" and im sure the caging part was that she held all her feelings inside. I love this song and i am i big rihanna fan because everything that she has been thru this past year i went thru for 4 years! Give her the props she deserves.
