Make of this what you will. I see this as a Hank Williams Jr type song, maybe updated for more modern sensibilities.
Almost Cool
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform
I sit here leaned over my beer
tears dropping in one by one
I see the happy couples all around
think to myself wouldn’t it almost be cool
to tell them in their face
that they’re all fools
wouldn’t it be almost cool
to tell them it’s not worth it
not one bit
wouldn’t it be almost cool
almost cool
almost cool
to just let rip with the truth
that love only leads to heartbreak
and shit
but I refrain
I take another sip of my lukewarm beer
look around and see
happy couples that want to make me flee
’cause they don’t know what I know
about affairs of the heart
so I have to control myself from
telling them right away
because
wouldn’t it be almost cool
to tell them it’s not worth it
not one bit
wouldn’t it be almost cool
almost cool
almost cool
to just let rip with the truth
that love only leads to heartbreak
and shit
(bridge)
it’s not cool to have a broken heart
love is so grand why break it in two
when we were together life was grand
then I had to take a stand
one that left me without anything
but beer
wouldn’t it be almost cool
to tell them it’s not worth it
not one bit
wouldn’t it be almost cool
almost cool
almost cool
to just let rip with the truth
that love only leads to heartbreak
and shit
