What I Tell Myself

(album: Past My Past - 2022)

Oh, it's just another heartache
At least that's what I tell myself
That you were just another mistake
But I can't hide in this shell anymore
The water's rising higher
Never thought I was a liar
Oh, it's just another heartache
At least that's what I tell myself

Told my parents I'm fine
And poured my last drop of wine
Told my sister it's cool
As I scroll through pictures of you
It's getting harder to pretend I don't care
But maybe one day I can get there
Seems like everyone I'm close to
Knows I can't get over you

Oh, it's just another heartache
At least that's what I tell myself
That you were just another mistake
But I can't hide in this shell anymore
The water's rising higher
Never thought I was a liar
Oh, it's just another heartache
At least that's what I tell myself
Hey, hey, hey
At least that's what I tell myself

Staying out until 3
Maybe someone will see
What I've been bottling inside
It's time I swallow my pride
Calling everyone I have in my phone
'Cause I don't know how to be alone
Why can't I just say that I need you
It's not like you don't know the truth

Oh, it's just another heartache
At least that's what I tell myself
That you were just another mistake
But I can't hide in this shell anymore
The water's rising higher
Never thought I was a liar
Oh, it's just another heartache
At least that's what I tell myself
Hey, hey, hey
At least that's what I tell myself
Hey, hey, hey
At least that's what I tell myself
Hey, hey, hey
At least that's what I tell myself
