Cool Kids

You by me in the dark
I won't speak unless I'm spoken to
I used to make this shit so hard
But I've learned to love me more the less I do

Ain't it true? Ain't it true?
But what my heart desires most is you
Ain't it true? Mmm
So when I feel you getting close, I go straight to my room

'Cause I was never one of the cool kids
I tried and that was my mistake
I've given up trying to get back that time
And all the fucks I gave

And isn't it strange
You only like me when I turn my back on you?
Isn't it strange? Now I know the game
Playing hard to guess the way to get to you

If I'm pushing you away
I'm inviting you to reach for me
You're the hunter, I'm the prey
And avoiding you is my strategy

Ain't it true? Ain't it true?
The less I seem to care, the more you do
Ain't it true? Mmm
I sit alone and hide my face like I did back in school

'Cause I was never one of the cool kids
I tried and that was my mistake
I've given up trying to get back that time
And all the fucks I gave

And isn't it strange
You only like me when I turn my back on you?
Isn't it strange? Now I know the game
Playing hard to guess the way to get to you

Wearing black most every day
To reflect this emptiness in me
The shadows dance across my face
'Cause it's better if I go unseen

I run, I run, I run
I run, I run, I run away
