"Kid Yourself" lyrics

I don't know what it is you think you need to hear from me
But I ain't gonna say that you should stay clear of me
Cause I ain't ever been one to tell you what you ought to do
But if you think you need to leave then there ain't no one stopping you

You should know by now I ain't gonna chase you out that door
I know better no cause I've been down that road before
I promise you I'll stay right here and move on with my life
If you wanna come on back you know I ain't too hard to find

It's okay to go all day pretending you down know my name
It's alright to hate me dear, make me live my worst fear
But don't you go and lie to me, I know it hurts you just to see
Me out on my own now living that life we talked about
Kid yourself all you want but you can't escape your thoughts
It's just fine to leave me behind, I know I'll be in the back of your mind

I've seen you out there living that life you think is better now
I know you say you've got it made without having me around
But we both know you saying that won't get me off your mind
Lying to yourself ain't no way to live your life

It's okay to go all day pretending you down know my name
It's alright to hate me dear, make me live my worst fear
But don't you go and lie to me, I know it hurts you just to see
Me out on my own now living that life we talked about
Kid yourself all you want but you can't escape your thoughts
It's just fine to leave me behind, I know I'll be in the back of your mind

It's okay to go all day pretending you down know my name
It's alright to hate me dear, make me live my worst fear
But don't you go and lie to me, I know it hurts you just to see
Me out on my own now living that life we talked about
Kid yourself all you want but you can't escape your thoughts
It's just fine to leave me behind, I know I'll be in the back of your mind
