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
