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 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 till she'd had enough 
Is that what I though 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, 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 that 
It was up to me 
You can only be a victim if you. 

Admit defeat.
