I’m not mad, I’m not asking
I’m just laughing in the wrong room
You can call it being easy
I call it hiding the bruise
You said maybe like a favor
I said sure like I was free
You kept every plan half-open
I made nothing bother me
You checked your phone under the table
I made a joke and looked away
I could feel my chest go quiet
So I let you have the day
I had a harder line to draw
But I made it look like air
If I named the way it hurt me
You might see me standing there
I play the cool girl in a bad situation
All good smile on, no explanation
Too chill to say it cuts me
Too calm to make it known
I play the cool girl in a bad situation
Let you leave me with the weight of patience
I make myself convenient
Then hate myself alone
You mention her like it is nothing
I turn the knife into a laugh
I let the silence keep you comfortable
And split my wanting clean in half
I say no worries like a password
I say all good like a door
I make the heartbreak look effortless
So you do not see it on the floor
I was not born this easy
I rehearsed it over time
Every go ahead I gave you
Moved your footprints over mine
I play the cool girl in a bad situation
All good smile on, no explanation
Too chill to say it cuts me
Too calm to make it known
I play the cool girl in a bad situation
Let you leave me with the weight of patience
I make myself convenient
Then hate myself alone
I am not jealous, I am not angry
That is the speech I know by heart
But I have swallowed every question
Till it learned to tear me apart
Being cool was never freedom
It was fear with better clothes
I held my face still for your comfort
And called the damage control
I was the cool girl in a bad situation
All good smile gone, no explanation
Too tired to keep it casual
Too real to leave it alone
I was the cool girl in a bad situation
Lost myself in the performance of patience
I made myself convenient
But I am not convenient anymore
I’m not mad, I’m not asking
But I am not laughing now
You can call it being easy
I know what it cost me now
