Текст песни Playing It Cool - Ollie Joseph

Wish I could say feelings changed
Over time, still feel the same
You had to part ways, and I hate that

So many problems piling up, I had to story board it
I don't know who's responsible, should hit The Maury Show with
Evidence I got, my reflection's looking guilty
Cutting off connections, my intentions could have killed me
I gave all my love to someone else, didn't concern the toll
And Strauss told me wrap it up, or see the curtains close
Been three months, no protection, no birth control
So it hurt my soul, when she addressed me with a nervous tone
Saying, "My parents won't approve of this lifestyle"
You're 22, who needs approval for a lifestyle?
The family quarrels cuttin' deep, I couldn't bandage her
Guess its on me, I should have assessed the damage first
Don't believe in soul mates, but she a close case
Before I crossed your path, I should've looked both ways
Rocky encounters went and turned me to a stone face
Left with a bunch of 'what ifs', but its okay

Wish I could say feelings changed
Over time, still feel the same
You had to part ways, and I hate that
But if its real love, we gon' find our way back
'Til then, I'll be playing it cool
Don't want to seem like I'm waiting on you
But when the memories weighin' on you
You know I'll be here still waiting on you

I only had one stick for the long term
And cross word communication's how I lost her
She thought I was filling in the boxes of her best friend
All of which had stemmed from a joke that I regret saying
We could not connect
That's what you get matching unpairable people
Never learned how to be loved, 'cause you had terrible teachers
Used to come thru, lay up and talk, I would stroke your hair
Got too comfortable, complacency urged you to poke the bear
I had enough, went from you couldn't fuck with me publicly
To last winter, calling and claiming you're still in love with me
I could hear the angst in your voice, you know I felt it too
But my schedule packed, entertaining you'd be a selfish move
I'm done contributing energy aiding tension brewed
Still love your parents, and I'm praying K does well in school
But saying we were meant to be is an embellished truth
I guess it's cool, I'm just glad I'm finally telling you

Wish I could say feelings changed
Over time, still feel the same
You had to part ways, and I hate that
But if its real love, we gon' find our way back
'Til then, I'll be playing it cool
Don't want to seem like I'm waiting on you
But when the memories weighin' on you
You know I'll be here still waiting on you

Wish I could say feelings changed
Over time, still feel the same
You had to part ways, and I hate that
But if its real love, we gon' find our way back
'Til then, I'll be playing it cool
Don't want to seem like I'm waitin' on you
But when the memories weighin' on you
You know I'll be here still waiting on you
