This week’s Karaoke Korner takes a look at the opposite meaning of words used in the lyrics.

“Stone Cold”

By Demi Lovato

Stone cold, stone cold
You see me standing
But I'm dying on the floor
Stone cold, stone cold
Maybe if I don't cry
I won't feel anymore

(Chorus)
Stone cold, baby
God knows I tried to feel
Happy for you
Know that I am, even if I
Can't understand
I'll take the pain
Give me the truth
Me and my heart
We'll make it through
If happy is her
I'm happy for you

Stone cold, stone cold
You're dancing with her
While I'm staring at my phone
Stone cold, stone cold
I was your amber
But now she's your shade of gold

(Chorus)

Don't wanna be stone cold, stone
I wish I could mend this
But here's my goodbye

Oh, I'm happy for you
Know that I am, even if I
Can't understand
If happy is her, If happy is her
I'm happy for you
