lyrics

I spent years
Lighting fires to myself
Just to keep everyone else
Warm
I fed my fears
Running from the shadows on the wall
When they weren’t there at all
At all

‘Cos I’m not the cool girl
I don’t keep my feelings to myself
I laugh when I’m happy
Self conscious around everyone else
But I know my value
And I am not afraid to say
That I may not be the one
But when this day is done
I’ll be the one who got away

The same old lines
Keep on echoing around me
They say they don’t feel worthy
That’s ok
But I’m not wasting time
On those that bring an empty cup
If they think that they’re not good enough
Stay away

‘Cos I’m not the cool girl
I don’t keep my feelings to myself
I laugh when I’m happy
Self conscious around everyone else
But I know my value
And I am not afraid to say
That I may not be the one
But when this day is done
I’ll be the one who got away

Don’t chase me
If you don’t want me
Don’t chase me
If you can’t handle me
Don’t chase me
If you don’t want me
‘Cos I may not be the one
But when this day is done
I’ll be the one who got away

‘Cos I’m not the cool girl
I don’t keep my feelings to myself
I laugh when I’m happy
Self conscious around everyone else
But I know my value
And I am not afraid to say
That I may not be the one
But when this day is done
I’ll be the one who got away

I’m not the cool girl
No i’m not the cool girl
I’m not the cool girl
‘Cos I may not be the one
But when this day is done
I’ll be the one who got away
