Wheatus : The Truth I Tell Myself Lyrics

Songwriters: Brown, Brendan B.;

. Send "The Truth I Tell Myself" Ringtone to your Cell .

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
