I Tell Myself
Hurri
There are times I tell myself,
That I don’t miss your smile,
Yet every day the mirror speaks,
Believe that lie awhile,
Every day I tell myself,
Tomorrow will be alright,
But when lonliness surrounds us,
It’s worse alone at night.
Though I really understand,
You seem to think I don’t,
If I was here to run away,
But you already k ow I won’t.
There are times I tell myself,
That without you I’m just fine,
But as I think through the day,
This pain is surely mine.
There are times I tell myself,
That you’re really not my kind,
Just wish the heart would be convinced,
And thoughts of you would leave my mind,
While every morning I try to say,
That I don’t really care,
The heart it seems is suddenly deaf,
As the heart holds back a tear.
I’ve tried to convince this beating heart,
That it’s easy to let you go,
But then the mirror looks at me,
And says you already know,
There are times I tell myself,
I’ll just turn and walk away,
Yet though the heart and mind agree,
I’ll do it but not today.
There are times I tell myself,
This all some twisted dream,
And then the smile that you see,
Might be just what it seems,
There are times I tell myself,
That you never really cared,
But something somewhere deep inside,
Knows its just our fear
There are times I tell myself,
That dreams never come true,
Yet then the mirror slaps my face,
And reminds me I found you,
Every morning this heart can see,
I’m lucky that we met,
And though we try to run away,
It’s you I can’t forget.
