Coolidge Songtext / Lyric

[Originally by Descendents]



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
