The Truth I Tell Myself Lyrics - Too Soon Monsoon - Wheatus

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
