We Tell Ourselves

I oughta know the look in another's eyes

When there's something on their mind

I think I saw that look in a lover's eyes

They were looking into mine

Like we both had found the one we want

But found the one we wanted just quit trying

So we tell ourselves

That what we found is what we meant to find

That's what we tell ourselves

You won't believe the things a heart could tell a mind

Somehow we sell ourselves on love

I just don't think I'll believe my heart this time

I oughta know the language well

I've heard me tell myself these things before

I finally made my mind up

My heart tells me to look for something more

Determined not to wind up wondering

"Was she the one?" Well, you never can be sure

So we tell ourselves

That what we found is what we meant to find

That's what we tell ourselves

You won't believe the things a heart could tell a mind

Somehow we sell ourselves on love

I just don't think I'll believe my heart this time

Yeah, we tell ourselves

That what we found is what we meant to find

You won't believe the things a heart could tell a mind

You won't believe the things a heart could tell a mind

Somehow we sell ourselves on love

I just don't think I'll believe my heart this time
