Does the mirror show the fairest you?
You’re lookin’ in 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 waitin’ in the queue
But don’t tell me you don’t like the food
Mmh-hm, tryna start a wave
But it’s all the same, I’m just sayin’

When you’re alone, do you see for yourself
These days you’ve been livin’ so blind
When the curtains are closed and you don’t have to hide
That’s when you realize

Why is everyone tryin’ so hard to be so cool?
Always got a point to prove
Holdin’ onto nothing
Like it’s everythin’ or lose
Why is everyone tryin’ so hard to be so cool?

They didn’t like the way I hold myself
Said they needed someone that would really sell
So I sat there pretty on the shelf
And then I told them they can go to hell
These days I don’t overthink
I got a thick skin and a couple kinks
Mmh-hm, don’t wanna fit the frame
If it’s all the same, I’m just sayin’

When I’m alone I can see for myself
Those days I was livin’ so blind
When the curtains are closed and you don’t have to hide
That’s when you realize

Why is everyone tryin’ so hard to be so cool?
Always got a point to prove
Holdin’ onto nothing
Like it’s everythin’ or lose
Why is everyone tryin’ so hard to be so cool?

To be good bein’ someone else
Why we do, do this to ourselves?
To be good bein’ someone else
Why we do, do this to ourselves?
To be good bein’ someone else
Why we do, do this to ourselves?
To be good bein’ someone else

Why is everyone tryin’ so hard to be so cool?
Always got a point to prove
And holdin’ onto nothing
Like it’s everything or lose
Why is every, why is every, why is everybody tryin’?

Why is everyone tryin’ so hard to be so cool?
Always got a point to prove
Holdin’ onto nothing
Like it’s everythin’ or lose
Why is everyone tryin’ so hard to be so cool?
