What a slap in the face
I can't believe it
You didn't even try to hide it
I have become your fallback friend
It happens to me again and again
You're like a swimmer
Your eye is on the prize
Damn the others who get in the way of your life
I don't like the person you are
When you're seen with them
It's not for me
I'm not ready to fall for what they want from me
I am happy as long as I am me
But you want their approval so bad
So then go to them
And don't look back
I'm sorry I'm not as cool as you
But I've got much better things to do
Than to wait around for someone to notice me
When I can see that they don't like me
I'm sorry I'm not as cool as you
Don't go out of my way to pop no pills
I can see how you're standing still
And you're posing for those others that are
Just as cool as you
Call me up in the morning if you have to
I'll play this back to spare myself repeating
I don't want a half kind of friend
I'll only keep you around 'til the end
Don't forget the part where you cry
Some kind of mechanism
It's a trap
Just a lie
I don't care for your reasons
It's not the right season for you and me
I'm not really as much as they want from me
I am happy as long as I am me
But you want their approval so bad
Don't worry about me
I've got my own back
I'm sorry I'm not as cool as you
But I've got much better things to do
Than to wait around for someone to notice me
When I can see that they don't like me
I'm sorry I'm not as cool as you
Don't go out of my way to pop those pills
I can see how you're standing still
And you're posing for those others that are
Just as cool as you
Who are they
Some kind of master race?
Some alien Gods from outer-space?
I don't think so
They're just like me
So please don't ignore me
Who are you
Who do you want me to be?
I'm sorry I'm not as cool as you
But I've got much better things to do
Than to wait around for someone to notice me
When I can see that they don't like me
I'm sorry I'm not as cool as you
Don't go out of my way to pop them pills
I can see how you're standing still
And you're posing for those others that are
Just as cool as you
