311 LYRICS - I Told Myself

"I Told Myself"



Picked up on the wrong scent

not gonna make a dent

how many times

are you in my rhymes

burn me once shame on thee

but burn me again, shame on me

I'm chasing and facing the point misplacing

when I think of you my mind's racing

I'm spacing out when I get to the point

of no return, I get burned

I told myself I'm through with you

the last thing that I'll ever do

let down my guard shoudln't be too hard

I know it's over, got to elevate, disregard



I can't believe I fell for it, but did it again

I told myself I'm gonna quit, but did it again

I can't believe I fell for it, but did it again

I told myself I'm gonna quit, but



This was supposed to be the last time

I told myself this wouldnt happen again

I told myself I wasn't ever going to call you

I told myself I wasn't going to let you back in

but here I am dialing, trying



I told myself to get a hold myself

I won't freak out, let you tweak out

on ecstacy not next to me

somethin tells me baby girl that you're testin me

I told myself to get a hold myself

and I'm tryin' I'm not lyin'

don't make me mad, you know I love you bad

I want to sniff the glue that hold me to you

I told myself to get a hold myself

but don't rush me can't you trust me

the sound I hear whenever you are near

I know it's never wrong and it's my favorite song



I can't believe I fell for it, but did it again

I told myself I'm gonna quit, but did it again

I can't believe I fell for it, but did it again

I told myself I'm gonna quit, but



This was supposed to be the last time

I told myself this wouldnt happen again

I told myself I wasn't ever going to call you

I told myself I wasn't going to let you back in

but here I am dialing, trying



And now it's all turned bad

turned bad, turned bad

your ploy to make me jealous

is obvious and sad

it has the opposite effect

now you're left with what you had

you had



The rain comes down as love turns to dust

I was joking she took me serious

the rain comed down as love turns to dust

I was joking she took me serious

yes, serious



This was the last time that I was ever going to call you

I told myself I wouldn't let you back in

but here I am dialing, trying
