Telling Myself - Joshua Bassett

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 naive, so naive believing

We were still happy, still happy

How could I ignore my doubts?

I keep on telling myself

We had something

But 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 of 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

But 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

But 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
