I Told Myself
© 2004 kate laurel smith, kate laurel publishing/ASCAP

I knew there was something about you
The first time I saw you by the door
Though I couldn?t see at all through
My clouded vision of the floor

I?d been lookin? down for some time
Wishin? that there could be something more
Than my empty heart and my closed mind
But then again, what am I lookin? for?

I told myself that there?d be plenty of time to find that
When this all has come to pass
?cause anyone fool enough to sign that paper of commitment
in the middle of searchin? for their path
surely couldn?t last

I could?ve struck up a conversation
And then it could have led to more, it seems
Well what?s more desecration
Of our already broken dreams

You know as well as I do that we?re
Setting ourselves up once again
All these expectations without follow through
You?d think we?d learn from all these things




One of these days I?ll stop looking for love
And it?ll find me
?cause I already rest in the open arms
of the One who really loves me

I told myself that there?d be plenty of time to find that
When this all has come to pass
?cause anyone fool enough to sign that paper of commitment
in the middle of searchin? for their path
surely they couldn?t make it last
I know I couldn?t make it last
