Lyrics

Feel like a freak when I'm trynna be cool
Like a snowflake in the middle of summer
Guess I wanna know that I'm not the only one
Who feels like a fool
When they're playing it cool
Try to be more like the girls in LA
Ripped jeans, T-shirts from bands they've never seen play
They're so intimidating
Maybe they're wondering too
Why they feel like a fool
When they're playing it cool
So glad I'm not 15
Learning how to fit in the popular scene
Posting my emotions of socials publicly
Facebook still loves to remind me
What I said when I was a kid
Same thoughts still run through my head
I'm a fool
Like I was in highschool
Don't show too much
They write the scene
I play the part
Poker face
Bite my tongue
Don't want to say the wrong thing
Text you back
Heart attack
If you try too hard you've already lost
Lost the game
We're running in circles all trying to make it
To the top
Guess I wanna know
That I'm not the only one
Who feels like a fool
When they're playing it cool
