I Gotta Be Cool

[Intro]
I gotta be cool, I gotta be great
I want the whole world to scream out my name
And I'm gonna get it
I'm gonna get it 'cause of you

[Verse]
Another bad ex added to the list
I know I've gotta stop piling them up like this
I'm alright, I'll be fine
But this one's got something that the others missed
The kind of breakup that makes you believe that love's a myth
I'm alright, I'll be fine

[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a little something that I gotta do
Can't let you get away with what you put me through
And I don't wanna hurt you babe, so here's what I'll do

[Chorus]
I gotta be cool, I gotta be great
I want the whole world to scream out my name
And I'm gonna get it
I'm gonna get it 'cause of you
And every night and every day
You'll try to escape the sound of my name
But you'll never do it
You'll never do it, you lose

[Verse 2]
I hope that I will haunt you 'til the end of time
I'm gonna make it my life's mission, I don't have to die
And when you get to the afterlife, I'm gonna be there too
(I'm gonna be there too)
When you find yourself crossing to the other side
I will welcome your arrival with the same damn knife
That you held when you started the fight
I'm gonna twist it too
(I'm gonna twist it too)

[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a little something that I gotta do
Can't let you get away with what you put me through
And I don't wanna hurt you babe, so here's what I'll do

[Chorus]
I gotta be cool, I gotta be great
I want the whole world to scream out my name
And I'm gonna get it
I'm gonna get it 'cause of you
And every night and every day
You'll try to escape the sound of my name
But you'll never do it
You'll never do it, you lose

[Bridge]
You should've been an actress
'Cause you hid that you're a monster
I wish I could give you hell
But I chose healing out of spite
You should've been an actress
'Cause you hid that you're a monster
I wish I could give you hell
I can't promise not to try

[Chorus]
I gotta be cool, I gotta be great
I want the whole world to scream out my name
And I'm gonna get it
I'm gonna get it 'cause of you
And every night and every day
You'll try to escape the sound of my name
But you'll never do it
You'll never do it, you lose
How does it feel to lose?
