Cool About It

Met you at the dive bar to go shoot some pool And make fun of the cowboys with the neck tattoos Ask you easy questions about work and school I'm trying to be cool about it Feelin' like an absolute fool about it Wishin' you were kind enough to be cruel about it Tellin' myself I can always do without it Knowin' that it probably isn't true I came prepared for absolution, if you'd only ask So I take some offense when you say, "No regrets" I remember it's impossible to pass your test But I'm trying to forget about it Feelin' like I'm breaking a sweat about it Wishin' you would kindly get out of my head about it Tellin' myself one day I'll forget about it Knowin' that it probably isn't true Once, I took your medication to know what it's like And now I have to act like I can't read your mind I ask you how you're doing and I let you lie But we don't have to talk about it I can walk you home and practice method acting I'll pretend being with you doesn't feel like drowning Tellin' you it's nice to see how good you're doing Even though we know it isn't true --- Cool About It - boygenius
