"The Truth I Tell Myself" by Wheatus

The Truth I Tell Myslef

You don't have to tell me that I'm stubborn 
'cause I'm not 
and I know ‘cause it runs in my family 
it 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 your surprised. 
Like when will I get wise
But I'll just drive them 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 some thin'
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
n' 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.

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 my charming self destructive disposition of I
Yeah all happy endings are for fools
Who feel like they will never loose
Folks, who think there's a God out there then 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.
