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 What was I thinking of? Became a bitter part of me It couldn't stay the way it was I looked at my reflection and I saw a strangers face I had to walk away I saw where I was going
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 Its hard to see at all At the bottom of the barrel Is that what I thought love was? I told her see you later but
Well I'm not her cool guy anymore Your back against the wall I know you can't escape the past Left it behind me and locked the door Now I look back and see just for a laugh It almost got the best of me I was my worst enemy What was I thinking of? You can only be a victim if you admit defeat It couldn't stay the way it was I woke up one day and saw it was only up to me I woke up one day and saw it was only up to me You can only be a victim if you admit defeat
