lyrics

I hope you're proud that you became
The kind of person who takes trains
And drives your car for miles away
Cause you're not strong enough to stay

Within your room all afternoon
Admitting there's nothing to do
You need to post to prove you play
Broken, I can hear you say

"I'm fun, I swear, not boring
Go check my Snapchat stories
I may drop out of school
But I'm still cultured, I can fool
You with my quotes from Holden
Sushi pictures, I'm withholding
All my fears, my fears that you'll
See through how I’ve
Convinced myself I'm cool"

Live free, hey, do what gets you through
But Jake Barnes, you can't run from you
Lehigh, Princeton, Yale I hear
I could've taken their classes
You just take their beer

My friends, they ask why I still care
But it’s hard to act unaware
When who was once your girl next door
Makes changes you cannot ignore

I can hear her yelling

"I'm fun, I swear, not boring
Go check my Snapchat story
I may drop out of school
But I'm still cultured, I can fool
You with my quotes from Holden
Sushi pictures, I'm withholding
All my fears, my fears that you'll
See through how I’ve
Convinced myself I'm cool"

You always tried to give more to me
When all I wanted was to sit and speak my mind all afternoon

And if you’re off wishing hell on me
It’s consolation knowing
I’m still stuck here writing songs for you

And so I have to say

You've proved you're far from boring
I still check your Snapchat stories
Please don't drop out of school
Although it's not my place,
I'm just a fool
Collecting my degrees
Reflecting insecurities
And breaking all my golden rules
Yeah that's how I’ve
Convinced myself I'm cool
