Act like I’m cool

“Act Like I’m Cool”

(Ann Marie-inspired R&B / Hip-Hop vibe)

Yeah…

(oh yeah… mm…)

I be actin’ like I’m good, but I ain’t…

(no, I ain’t…)

⸻

I’d rather act like I don’t care than tell you how I feel

Keep it bottled up inside, that’s just how I deal (yeah…)

You ask me what’s wrong, I just say “I’m chill”

Whole time I’m breakin’ down, tryna keep it real

Type a whole paragraph then delete it quick

Actin’ like I’m over it, but it still hit (still hit…)

You don’t even notice when I start switchin’

So I play it cool instead of talkin’ ‘bout my feelings

⸻

I be smilin’ when I’m hurtin’ (hurtin’…)

Say I’m fine, but it ain’t workin’

You don’t read between the lines

So I keep it all inside…

⸻

I’d rather act like I’m cool (I’m cool…)

Than tell you what you put me through (through…)

Play it off like I don’t mind

Even when you cross the line

I’d rather act like I’m straight (I’m straight…)

Than let you see my heart break

Yeah, it’s easier to hide

All these feelings deep inside…

⸻

Yeah…

I don’t do the talkin’, I just move different

Every time I cared, it created distance (facts…)

Now I keep my guard up, love got me trippin’

Smile in your face while my heart still missin’

I ain’t beggin’, I got too much pride

But lowkey this pain been eatin’ me alive

So I act like I’m good every single night

Even when I’m breakin’ inside…

⸻

I’d rather act like I don’t care…

(yeah…)

Than let you see these tears…

(mmm…)

I’d rather act like I’m cool…

Even when I’m hurtin’… inside…
