I Told Myself - 311

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 minds 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 shouldn’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 wouldn’t happen again I told myself

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

I wouldn’t 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 ecstasy, it’s not next to me

Let me tell you 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 holds 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 wouldn’t happen again I told myself

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

I wouldn’t 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 comes down as love turns to dust

No 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
