Karl Alvarez - Coolidge 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 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 'til she had enough Was 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 closed 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 Well, I looked up one day and saw that it was up to me You can only be a victim if you admit defeat
