"Things I Keep Telling Myself" lyrics

I drink more than I used to, and I sleep a little less
It's not what I'm supposed to do, but I do it nonetheless
I don't like confrontation, but it's getting hard to tell
I've got a reputation I'd like to keep to myself

I hear what the people say, but I just don't give a damn
I let it roll right off my back because they just don't understand
What do they know anyway, I'm not trying to please anyone else
These are the things I keep telling myself

Don't get me wrong, I like the company I keep
But we're all after something that's just out of reach
We all make excuses, I'm not exception to the rule
But lately all my reasons have got me feeling like a fool

I hear what the people say, but I just don't give a damn
I let it roll right off my back because they just don't understand
What do they know anyway, I'm not trying to please anyone else
These are the things I keep telling myself

I hear what the people say, but I just don't give a damn
I let it roll right off my back because they just don't understand
What do they know anyway, I'm not trying to please anyone else
These are the things I keep telling myself

These are the things I keep telling myself
