Before You Were Cool

I liked you before you were cool.

Back when you weren't so popular 

Back when you hadn't 

Plastered a thick wall of fake 

Around yourself to hide the real you. 

I liked you before you were cool. 

Back when you were just like me 

Back when no one 

Batted an eye over you 

You weren't seen as 'special'

I guess that's why you changed. 

I liked you before you were cool.

Back when you were real

Back when you used to talk 

To me, and everyone else who

Actually cares about you

Not with superficial emotions.

I liked you- maybe even loved you before you were cool. 

Before you got caught up in

Having tons of fake friends 

Instead of one real one

Before the temptation to be accepted 

Overcame what we used to have 

Before you were cool.
