Well 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 feeling 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 strangers face

I saw where I was going

I had to walk away



I lost a girl, it's just as well

she tried to save me from myself

I still got her on my mind

tossing and turning in my bed

but if she had stayed another week

I would've dragged her down with me

she took it till she had enough

is that what I thought love was?

I told her see you later but

its hard to see at all

at the bottom of the barrel

your back against the wall



Well I'm not her cool guy anymore

left it behind me and locked the door

I know you can't escape the past

now I look back and see just for a 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 woke up one day and saw it was only up to me

you can only be a victim if you admit defeat

I woke up one day and saw it was only up to me

you can only be a victim if you admit defeat
