Lyrics:

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



Well I'm not acool guy anymore

left it behind me, then 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
