What I Tell Myself

Five months, three weeks, and two days ago

He walked out of my life

Took every ounce of strength I had

Not to break right down and cry

Any other time I probably would

Oh, but there's no need for that

'Cause I'm sure he's not gone for good

Yeah, he's still comin' back

At least that's what I tell myself

To keep my heart from breakin'(well)

What else am I supposed to do

I can't bear to face the truth

I don't know where he is tonight

But I know when he turns out the lights

He won't be holdin' someone else

At least that's what I tell myself

I still remember our last kiss

And just how sweet it was

How he acted like he didn't care

Oh, but I know he still does

And right before he said goodbye

He took off his ring

Said, "I don't need this anymore"

Oh, but that don't mean a thing

At least that's what I tell myself

To keep my heart from breakin'(well)

What else am I supposed to do

I can't bear to face the truth

I don't know where he is tonight

But I know when he turns out the lights

He won't be holdin' someone else

At least that's what I tell myself

It's another sleepless night

Here in this lonely bed

I might not hold him anymore

But he don't love me any less

At least that's what I tell myself

To keep my heart from breakin'(well)

What else am I supposed to do

I can't bear to face the truth

I don't know where he is tonight

But I know when he turns out the lights

He won't be holdin' someone else

At least that's what I tell myself
