I Told Myself Lyrics

311

Picked up on the wrong scent
Not gonna make a dent
How many times
Are you in my rhymes
Burn me once shame on thee
But burn me again, shame on me
Im chasing and facing the point misplacing
When I think of you my minds racing
Im spacing out when I get to the point
Of no return, I get burned
I told myself Im through with you
The last thing that Ill ever do
Let down my guard shouldnt be too hard
I know its over, got to elevate, disregard
I cant believe I fell for it, but did it again
I told myself Im gonna quit, but did it again
I cant believe I fell for it, but did it again
I told myself Im gonna quit, but
This was supposed to be the last time
I told myself this wouldnt happen again
I told myself I wasnt ever going to call you
I told myself I wasnt going to let you back in
But here I am dialing, trying
I told myself to get a hold myself
I wont freak out, let you tweak out
On ecstacy not next to me
Somethin tells me baby girl that youre testin me
I told myself to get a hold myself
And Im tryin Im not lyin
Dont make me mad, you know I love you bad
I want to sniff the glue that hold me to you
I told myself to get a hold myself
But dont rush me cant you trust me
The sound I hear whenever you are near
I know its never wrong and its my favorite song
I cant believe I fell for it, but did it again
I told myself Im gonna quit, but did it again
I cant believe I fell for it, but did it again
I told myself Im gonna quit, but
This was supposed to be the last time
I told myself this wouldnt happen again
I told myself I wasnt ever going to call you
I told myself I wasnt going to let you back in
But here I am dialing, trying
And now its all turned bad
Turned bad, turned bad
Your ploy to make me jealous
Is obvious and sad
It has the opposite effect
Now youre left with what you had
You had
The rain comes down as love turns to dust
I was joking she took me serious
The rain come down as love turns to dust
I was joking she took me serious
Yes, serious
This was the last time that I was ever going to call you
I told myself I wouldnt let you back in
But here I am dialing, trying
