i tell myself lies - Flora Cash

There was a time

When we were blinded by love and drove all night

Just to get out of town

To pretend we escaped

I could have died underneath all the stars

By fire light

With you there on the ground

Without a complaint

I’ve been hoping, I’ve been praying I’ll wake up in the rain

Wearing your coat, that we’re soaked in the tent that we made

I tell myself lies

Like every minute, every moment

Since you laid there with me

That I’ve been sleeping, that you leaving was a terrible dream

I tell myself lies

Someday maybe

I’ll wake up there with you baby get a second chance to get it right

I tell myself lies

I tell myself lies

I’ll admit

I don’t regret what I said

But what I didn’t

That’s what hurts me the most if I’m being honest

I miss your lips

The way you spoke with a smile before we kissed

The little notes that you wrote

That I keep in my pocket

I’ve been hoping, I’ve been praying I’ll wake up in the rain

Wearing your coat, that we’re soaked in the tent that we made

I tell myself lies

Like every minute, every moment

Since you laid there with me

That I’ve been sleeping, that you leaving was a terrible dream

I tell myself lies

Someday maybe

I’ll wake up there with you baby get a second chance to get it right

I tell myself lies

I tell myself lies
