cool kids

Skylar Grey

You will find 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 you ll 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 run 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 get is 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 d 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 get is 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
