LIES I TELL MYSELF ABOUT ME AND YOU

I tell myself you’ll be back
In a week or two
That we’ll laugh and share a joke
Like we used to do  

I tell myself you’re faithful
I tell myself you’re true
But they’re just lies I tell myself
About me and you 

I tell myself we’ll be alright
If I look away
And pretend I didn’t see you
With him yesterday

I tell myself you’ll leave him
In a week or two
But they’re just lies I tell myself
About me and you    

I’m dreamin’ of a better time
For me and you
If dreaming could bring you back
That’s all I would do

I can’t face knowing
You and I are through  
And that’s why I tell these lies
About me and you  

I tell myself you’re satisfied
And you understand
That you’re still on my side
And I’m still your man

I tell myself it’s just a phase
We’re going through
But they’re just lies
I tell myself about me and you 

Now you say that it’s over
Cause you lost your nerve
And that you been living
With less than you deserve

But it would surely kill me
If you say we’re through
Please let me go on telling lies
About me and you
