Coolidge — текст песни (millencolin)

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
