Play it cool

[chorus] I have to play it cool, why can’t I play it cool? Maybe it's easier, To be the one who's fooled, Than to face the truth, That I'm still so consumed. [verse] Would you please stop hiding in my mind, ‘cause I don’t wanna be a girl of the kind, Who can’t make it on her own, I realize your hold on me is far too tight, though for so long, we were losing sight, How to do things right, [verse 2] You locked me in and shut me out, I don’t think that’s what love is about, Is there nothing more to say? I overheard you sweet talk on the phone, while with me you just communicate, by throwing ashtrays [chorus] I have to play it cool, why can’t I play it cool? Maybe it's easier, To be the one who's fooled, Than to face the truth, That I'm still so consumed. [bridge] I wear a mask so well, But inside I dwell, On the memories we shared, of a love like hell. I thought I could move on, But the pain is still so strong, Everywhere I turn, I see where we went wrong. [chorus] I have to play it cool, why can’t I play it cool? Maybe it's easier, To be the one who's fooled, Than to face the truth, That I'm still so consumed. [chorus] I have to play it cool, why can’t I play it cool? Maybe it's easier, To be the one who's fooled, Than to face the truth, That I'm still so consumed. [instrumental string quartet] I have to play it cool, why can’t I play it cool? ooh-ooh-ooh I have to play it cool, why can’t I play it cool? why-why-why [outro]
