Cooler
Phases Lyrics

For so long, I guess the feeling wasn't right
For a while, I had a feeling that things weren't working out as they should.

Let me down, I guess I thought you might
I had hoped that you would not disappoint me, but you did.

Just a kid, I had those unsuspecting eyes
When I was younger, I was more trusting and naive.

Now looking now, I bet you're wondering why
Now that things have changed, you might be confused as to why I feel this way.

The more I think, the more it eats me up inside
The more I dwell on our situation, the more it bothers me emotionally.

The more I think, it kinda hurts to hide
Holding my feelings inside is becoming increasingly painful as time goes on.

What I wanna say
I have something I want to express.

I really wanna say
I really want to express how I feel.

Damn I guess I thought you were cooler I really thought you were cooler Damn I really thought you were cooler I guess I thought you were cooler Damn I really thought you were cooler
I had a higher opinion of you, but the way you're behaving now has made me reevaluate that opinion, and I feel disappointed.

All my friends tell me they see you stepping out Making a fool of me and running 'round
My friends have told me that they've seen you being unfaithful and taking advantage of me.

You kiss my face and say I haven't settled down Tell me they don't know what they're talkin' 'bout
You try to play it off like I'm the one with the problem and that my friends don't know what they're talking about.

The more I hear, the more I wanna scream and shout The more I hear, I think I finally found What I wanna say I really wanna say
The more I hear about your behavior, the angrier it makes me, and I feel like I've finally found the words to express how I feel.

It isn't over 'til it's over, but I'm sick and tired of feeling like a sitting duck It ain't my business to be changing you or taming you or helping you, I'm growing up I guess I had enough I think I had enough
While our relationship may not be completely over yet, I'm tired of feeling helpless and like I'm at your mercy. I'm not responsible for changing you, and I'm ready to move on from this.

What I gotta say I didn't wanna say
There's something I need to get off my chest, even though I didn't want to have to say it.

Damn I guess I thought you were cooler I really thought you were cooler Damn I really thought you were cooler I guess I thought you were cooler Damn I really thought you were cooler
Once again, I thought more highly of you than you've proven to be, and I'm disappointed.

(Cooler, cooler) Damn I really thought you were cooler
Reinforcing the idea that you've let me down, and I feel hurt by it.
