Never Be Cool [Acoustic]
Grew up in a small world
Big dreams for a small girl
Thought that winning put the cool kids on your team
But there I was, fifteen, no boyfriend
Only books and achievements
Never asked to the school dance but I dreamed
I've always wondered if the popular kids even liked each other, I
Or maybe they're all just trying to be somebody that they're not
'Cause I'm not
Looking back on wasted youth
Wishing I had learned to lose
Even though I'm trying my best, maybe I should accept
That I'll never be cool
A choir girl, self-conscious
A try-hard, if I'm honest
Too scared to smoke a cigarette, I never will
But now I stand a little tall, a little different
Still a loser, but I mean it
When I say I like the way I've settled in my skin
I've always wondered if the popular kids even liked each other, I
Or maybe they're all just trying to be somebody that they're not
'Cause I'm not
Looking back on wasted youth
Wishing I had learned to lose
Even though I'm trying my best, maybe I should accept
That I'll never be cool
Watching as the river runs
Finding out who I've become
Even though I'm trying my best, maybe I should accept
That I'll never be cool
No, I'll never, no, no, no I'll never
No, I'll never, no, no, no I'll never
No, I'll never, no, no, no I'll never
Never be cool
Looking back on wasted youth
Wishing I had learned to lose
Even though I'm trying my best, maybe I should accept
That I'll never be cool
Watching as the river runs
Finding out who I've become
Even though I'm trying my best, maybe I should accept
That I'll never be cool
