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 coming back

At least that's what I tell myself
To keep my heart from breaking
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 light
He won't be holding 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
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 breaking
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 light
He won't be holding 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 breaking
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 light
He won't be holding someone else
At least that's what I tell myself
At least that's what I tell myself
