Cooler Than Me


If I could write you a song

To make you fall in love 

I would already have you up

Under my arm

I used up all of my tricks

I hope that you like this 

But you probably won't 

You think you're cooler than me

 

So cool

So swift

So smooth

Boy, you got it all

Even that front

That ficsade you put on every morning

Just to hide

Yet I'm starting to think

That this role you play

Isn't a role

But reality

The way you look 

The way you are

The way you hold yourself

You must have some strong muscles

To carry that big of an ego

You sure do make those girls swoon

If I could make you swoon

Swoon, so that you are drooling

Like the dog I know you are

Too bad you aren't a chick

So I could call you a -

But I can't

So instead 

I'll roll my eyes 

When I see you walk down the street

Cause

 

You got designer shades 

Just to hide your face in

You wear them around 

Like you're cooler than me

You never say, "Hey" 

Or remember my name

And it's probably because

You think you're cooler than me

 

Yeah you are so cool

Look at you 

You are your Ray Bans

You and your talk

You and your walk

You got swagger up to there

And insecurities right down here

You look so cool

So swift

Cause you wear your sunglasses at night

[pause]

On second thought

You are so lame

Such a loser with your knock off Ray Bans you got from the swapmeet

I would never write you a song 

To make you fall in love with me

Instead, I wrote you this

To call you out

To show you up

So go ahead

Ignore me

Forget who I am

But I will always remember who you are

You are just a boy who has had his heart broken 

One too many times

And I am just the girl

That has seen the effects

Conclusion

You are not cooler than me
