Telling Myself

 'Telling Myself' is the second single from Deter from their debut album 'Wither and Fade'.

Lyrics
(Verse)

More  or less I can try my best to alleviate this stress that's giving me such unrest, As I lie here wide awake these bones begin to ache Every  night's the same, hoping that it will change

(Chorus)

Would it be a lie if I said I didn't feel right? It's  all within, the feeling from your own skin When  you find a trace but you're never the same This is just a phase I keep Telling Myself

(Verse)

Four years is too long to wait for something that isn't the same There's no telling when its too late, you won't give me the time of day It's like you're afraid to stay, so these eyes will compensate We're  past the point of it all, We're done with the late night talks

(Chorus)

Would it be a lie if I said I didn't feel right? It's all within, the feeling from your own skin When you find a trace but you're never the same This is just a phase I keep Telling Myself

(Bridge)

I keep Telling Myself! I keep Telling Myself!

Would it be a lie if I said I didn't feel right? Would it be a lie if I said I didn't feel right?

(Chorus)

Would it be a lie if I said I didn't feel right? It's all within, the feeling from your own skin When you find a trace but you're never the same This is just a phase I keep Telling Myself

Trivia

 * According to lead vocalist Jamie Logan 'The basis of the lyrical works of Telling Myself are born from an intense feeling of anxiety. The type of worry that requires constant reassurance from oneself as well as the others they are surrounded by. This song embodies the loss and frustration that comes with a declining relationship with a loved one and how the growing ache from feeling distant from them can literally cause heartache and sleeplessness'.
