| 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 and 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 till 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 |
