The Truth I Tell Myself |
You don’t have to tell me that I’m stubborn |
'Cause I’m not |
And I know cause it runs in my family |
And skips every other generation |
You don’t have to save my soul |
Or make me feel like I’m in control |
It’s not worth the double scotch whiskey |
That you’d have to buy me |
You look like you’re surprised |
Like when will I get wise |
But I’ll just drive the same dead ends I’ve tried |
And I think I know why |
There’s no connection between what I want |
And what is good for me |
The truth, I tell myself not to believe |
You don’t know, I could have been somethin' |
But I’m not and I know that it’s somebody else’s fault |
Just like every other thing |
That’s ever happened to me |
Yeah, I could have been like the king |
Or like someone who could really sing |
Folks would line up round the corner |
Just so they could come and hear me |
There I go again |
Them devils love their sin |
Well, they can’t end what I do not begin |
So I’m safe where I’m in |
And there’s no connection between what I want |
And what is good for me |
The truth, I tell myself not to believe |
There’s no direction between where I am |
And where I’m supposed to be |
The truth, I tell myself not to believe |
Don’t think that I’m expecting you to stay |
'Cause you won’t and I know |
'Cause I’ve seen it a million times |
It’s just a charming, self destructive disposition of I |
Yeah, all those happy endings are for fools |
Who feel like they will never lose |
Folks, who think there’s a God out there |
That’s gonna save them |
I’ll get this 'round my friend |
And then we can start again |
Just like we did when we were who we are |
Have we come that far? |
There’s no connection between what I want |
And what is good for me |
The truth, I tell myself not to believe |
There’s no direction between where I am |
And where I’m supposed to be |
The truth, I tell myself not to believe |
