Stories I Tell Myself

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions

I could say the same about the arsenal of lessons

That you taught me babe

On any given day

It really cuts the way we use your words as weapons

I can’t really cope with interpersonal rejection

I do know that some would say

I really shouldn’t live that way

But not now babe I really can’t stand it

All these days I’ve just about had it

Stop this pain it’s just a bad habit

Cuz I know I’m quick to see through a lie from anyone else

But not the stories I tell myself

You asked for space like that makes it easier

I won’t complain if I can’t say how deep it hurts

To piece together what you say and what you mean but not anymore

Trading off the pain and blame has left me hardened

I don’t got a whole lot of fight left in me darlin

You know I did once

but not anymore

And not now babe I really can’t stand it

All these days I’ve just about had it

Stop this pain it’s just a bad habit

Yeah I know I’m quick to see through a lie from anyone else

But not the stories I tell myself

 At the mercy of fate

Let it unfold how it may

But If my heart has to break

Just not now babe I really can’t stand it

All these days I’ve just about had it

Stop this pain it’s just a bad habit

I know I’m quick to see through a lie from anyone else

But not the stories I tell myself

I know I’m quick to see through a lie from anyone else

But not the stories I tell myself
