I'm not a cool guy anymore as if I ever was before I took a look at all the signs then rolled it over in my mind the feelings I could not release became a bitter part of me what was I thinking of? it couldn't stay the way it was I looked at my reflection and I saw a stranger's face I saw where I was going a and I had to walk away I lost a girl, it's just as well she tried to save me from myself I've still got her on my mind tossing and turning in my bed but if she had stayed another week I would have dragged her down with me she took it 'til she had enough is that what I thought love was? I told her "see you later" But it's hard to see at all at the bottom of the barrel with your back against the wall I'm not a cool guy anymore left it behind and locked the door I know you can't escape the past now I look back and have to laugh I was my worst enemy it almost got the best of me what was I thinking of? it couldn't stay the way it was I looked up one day and saw it was up to me you can only be a victim if you admit defeat I looked up one day and saw it was up to me you can only be a victim if you admit defeat
