Telling Myself

Started out, started out so simple

We were running 'round, running 'round like children

How did we allow, we allow this story to fall so south?

What were we, what were we both thinking?

We were so naïve, so naïve believing

We were still happy, still happy, how could I ignore my doubts?

I keep on telling myself we had something good

Did we stay together longer than we should?

Were we just playing pretend because we could?

Was it really that good?

I keep on telling myself it's not what it was

Did we just want to believe that this was love?

Was it really worth the trouble that it caused?

Look where we ended up

I keep on telling myself

I keep on telling myself

I keep on telling myself

I keep on telling myself

Oh

Don't pretend, don't pretend you're all a sudden

Innocent, innocent, my darling

How could you forget, you forget the first half of the story now?

I keep on telling myself we had something good

Did we stay together longer than we should?

Were we just playing pretend because we could?

Was it really that good?

I keep on telling myself

And now that you're gone, I see it all clearly

And don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change a thing

I keep on telling my—

I keep on telling myself we had something good

Did we stay together longer than we should?

Were we just playing pretend because we could?

Was it really that good?

I keep on telling myself it's not what it was

Did we just want to believe that this was love?

Was it really worth the trouble that it caused?

Look where we ended up

I keep on telling myself

I keep on telling myself

I keep on telling myself

I keep on telling myself
