What I Tell Myself

I got a need for darkness when everything’s lit
I hate everything about it but that’s how it is
But something in my mind is changing as the sun comes up
All the worries I’ve been chasing I’m lettin' 'em run
I gotta let go and try to forget
All the stupid things I don’t understand why I said
And I say
Don’t you like it better this way?
I’m holding on now
Let the bad things go and say whatever
If you do your best you can’t do better
Ohh, that’s what I tell myself
All the bad thoughts they will never help you
And the best won’t do you any favor
Ohh, that’s what I tell myself
I’d wish that it could this easy all day long
But shit happens for a reason for no reason at all
I gotta let go and try to forget
All the stupid things I cannot undo anyway
And I say
Don’t you like it better this way?
I’m holding on now
Let the bad things go and say whatever
If you do your best you can’t do better
Ohh, that’s what I tell myself
All the bad thoughts they will never help you
And the best won’t do you any favor
Ohh, that’s what I tell myself
Ooh
Ooh
I gotta let go and try to forget
All the stupid things I cannot undo anyway
And I say
Don’t you like it better this way?
I’m holding on now
Let the bad things go and say whatever
If you do your best you can’t do better
Ohh, that’s what I tell myself
All the bad thoughts they will never help you
And the best won’t do you any favor
Ohh, that’s what I tell myself
And don’t you like it better this way?
Don’t you like it better this way?
Don’t you like it better this way?
