[Verse 1]
Does the mirror show the fairest you?
You 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
Mm-mm, tryna start a wave
But it's all the same, I'm just saying
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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? (So cool, so cool)
[Verse 2]
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 ever think
I got a thick skin and a couple kinks
Mm-mm, don't wanna fit the frame
If it's all the same, I'm just saying
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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? (So cool, so cool)
[Refrain]
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?
[Bridge]
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 trying?
[Chorus]
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?
