Lyrics
Telling Myself
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I keep telling myself, telling myself
That you’re too good for me
I keep selling myself, selling myself short
When I shouldn’t be
‘Cause it’s always the same, always the same shit
Going through my head
I just can’t keep up with you
Please help me make it through
What is wrong?
This feeling like I don’t belong
What’s so right?
Every little bit about last night
Sometimes I want it
Sometimes I wish it would end
‘Cause it’ll just make me sad
But there’s something about you
Something about you just keeps me goin’
I just can’t keep up with you
Please help me make it through
I keep needing your touch, asking too much
It’s new to me
And I'm playing as if, acting as if I was
My worst enemy
‘Cause it’s always the same, always the same shit
Going through my head
I just can’t keep up with you
It’s just too good to be true
What is wrong?
This feeling like I don’t belong
What’s so right?
Every little bit about last night
Sometimes I want it
Sometimes I wish it would end
‘Cause it’ll just make me sad
But there’s something about you
Something about you just keeps me goin’
I keep telling myself
Telling myself that you’re
Too good for me
I keep selling myself
Selling myself short
When I shouldn’t be
Sometimes I want it
Sometimes I wish it would end
‘Cause it’ll just make me sad
But there’s something about you
Something about you just keeps me goin’
Something about you just keeps me goin’
I keep telling myself, telling myself
I keep selling myself, selling myself short
When I shouldn’t be
