lyrics

The beast said he never thought he'd see me going
But then again he must have had a way of knowing.
That one more winter would turn into the next.
Then he'd dangle the sun and my soul would need a rest.

I always told myself
That this never would be over
How can I know myself
Unless I tell the story over

When I came here I was barely standing
I learned the art of a smoother landing
I met the people who comprise my heart
And if I know them at all they would want me to start.

And I always told myself
That this never would be over
How can I know myself
Unless I ​tell the story over

(inst).

I always tell myself
What I've always told myself
and I've always told myself
what I always tell myself

I couldn't think of someone who could love me better
You can take me from the ​city we can go wherever
​It would be such a disservice to myself to stay
Just because I don't want to change so I push you away

I always tell myself
What I've always told myself
and I've always told myself
what I always tell myself

And what I've always told myself
Is that this never will be over
And I told myself again the day I looked over my shoulder
