Cool

(album: And Now, We're Shining - 2020)

Does the mirror show the fairest you?
You're looking good in them cute shoes
I saw Jenny and she got 'em too
And now you're looking like a girl group
Wanna be seen waiting in the queue
But don't tell them you don't like the food
Mmh-hm, tryna start a wave
But it's all the same, I'm just saying

When you're alone, do you see for yourself
These days you've been living so blind
When the curtains are closed and you don't have to hide
That's when you realize

Why is everyone trying so hard to be so cool?
Always got a point to prove
Holding onto nothing
Like it's everything or lose
Why is everyone trying so hard to be so cool?

They didn't like the way I hold myself
Said they needed someone that would really sell
So I sat there pretty on a shelf
And then I told them they can go to hell
These days I don't overthink
I got a thick skin and a couple kinks
Mmh-hm, don't wanna fit the frame
If it's all the same, I'm just saying

When I'm alone I can see for myself
Those days I was living so blind
When the curtains are closed and you don't have to hide
That's when you realize

Why is everyone trying so hard to be so cool?
Always got a point to prove
Holding onto nothing
Like it's everything or lose
Why is everyone trying so hard to be so cool?

You look good being someone else?
Why we do, do this to ourselves?
You look good being someone else?
Why we do, do this to ourselves?
You look good being someone else?
Why we do, do this to ourselves?
You look good being someone else?

Why is everyone trying so hard to be so cool?
Always got a point to prove
And holding onto nothing
Like it's everything or lose
Why is every, why is every, why is everybody tryin'?

Why is everyone trying so hard to be so cool?
Always got a point to prove
Holding onto nothing
Like it's everything or lose
Why is everyone trying so hard to be so cool?

Why is everyone trying so hard to be so cool?
Always got a point to prove
Holding onto nothing
Like it's everything or lose
Why is everyone trying so hard to be so cool?
