David Cassidy - Lyin' To Myself Lyrics






So I'll never feel your touch again
I'll get used to it
Hearts don't break they just bend
I'll come bouncing back
You barely left a scratch on me

You were nothing
But a little play thing
And your love bite
It was only a sting
Baby when you went
It hardly made a dent in me

It was just a fleshwound in my pride
It ain't no tragedy that I can't survive

I'm lyin' to myself every night
Without you baby nothing's been right
No matter what I say
Can't make you go away
I'm lyin' to myself that's the truth
It's killing me being without you
You're the only one
Not fooling anyone
I'm lyin' to myself

I won't lie here
Alone in this bed
Broken record
Of your voice in my head
'Cause nothing that you said
Had any real effect on me

There's not a thing that I would change
No not much only everything
Just to have you again

I'm lyin' to myself every night
Without you baby nothing's been right
No matter what I say
Can't make you go away
I'm lyin' to myself

I can't deny it anymore
Gotta get you back in my life
'Cause that's all I've been living for

And I'm lyin' to myself
You're the only one
Not fooling anyone
I been lyin' to myself
No matter what I say
Can't make you go away
I'm lyin' to myself

    Loved that long hair on him, those sexy eyes & smile. You can hear the pain in his voice.

  46. F.... R....

    God! He was hot!!!!!

  47. A.... H....

    I was 23 years of age in 1990 when I heard this. Now I'm 51 in 2018. I was so very young then, and, David Cassidy was still young then. He was only 40! I used to lie to myself (pun intended), like this song of his, in my fantasies, that I could be with him. What woman wouldn't fantasize being with him?

  48. W.... D....

    Wow how good does our man look and sound here xx RIP David xx love and miss you so much xx

  52. L.... S....

    THIS was a great song!  David killed it.

  53. A.... H....

    Not too long after he did this, his record company tanked! According to his biography that I saw on youtube

  54. D.... E....

    This should of been a number 1 hit...too bad the record company went out of business and this cd wasn't promoted like it should of been. I love it...some of his best work!!

  55. C.... P....

    I love you sriracha!!!!

  56. L.... C....

    It sucks that his label folded right when this album launched. No promotion was it's curse. Great album, and this song deserved to do better than it did.

  57. J.... F....

    David. Siempre te llevaré en mi corazón

    J.... F....

    jamas oi de esta cancion eso que me conosco varias bandas de esa epoca dando una onda a aor oh aor scandinavo melodic rock hard rock sleaze glam hair rock suena como bandas bon jovi dare giant alias :)

    You were so Gorgeous, RIP David. Love this song. Always thought I'd get to see you again.

  66. t.... ....

    I've played this once a day since he died, so I can learn the words. I've noticed the amount of views has gone up about 10k. It sucks that he's not around to see how it's getting played now.

  67. j.... m....

    he nailed it.but he didnt think so at the time.rip.

    j.... m....

    john malone Yeah, I remember seeing this video a few times in 1990 and thought he was straining on the chorus but now I like it better than later versions where the backup singers handled it.

  68. G.... S....

    No lying to myself, I am so sad to see you go. So talented and remarkable! And seemingly never settled nor meeting with the happiness he so much deserved! It is so difficult to see someone you have loved and admired for so long meet such a heart-breaking end. I want to remember him like this! I only wish that he would have not been lying to himself regarding his addiction! Never forgetting and always ever a fan! RIP, David!

  69. J.... M....

    OMG. I love it

  70. j.... c....

    Rest in peace sweet soul. :( <3

    j.... c....

    Jennifer cote  That show was my first music, Felt bad doing TV show & concerts at same time. It stinks all these Rock Stars feel the need to do drugs or Alcohol. Liv Tyler daughter of Steaven Tyler from Aerosmith missed out 10 years of her life not knowing who her dad was, Liv mother didn't want her around her dad because of his drug use. 10 years

  71. M.... C....

    I'll miss you David Cassidy.you where a good actor in the partridge family and a good singer.

  72. J.... R....

    Great vocals, hot as always💋

  73. J.... M....

    Man when I first saw this video when it came out, I flipped out. I flipped out every time after too. 😍

  74. B.... A....

    I love David Cassidy since i a teen now sad that he pass away i always to see him in person and never got to see him. By brenda Allish

  75. T.... F....

    Beautiful song💚💽👍

  76. R.... P....

    Is this from his self titled album "David Cassidy?" I met in at a meet and greet in Toronto in 1990. I wish I could the polaroid here. I wrote an article/blog expressing my feelings around his passing. www.pursuit.ca

  77. R.... P....

    The intro sounds reminds me of Heart and Jefferson Airplane. This was the sound of the time.

  78. G.... 7....

    I remember when the song came out in the 1980s. I’d vaguely known that David was a huge teen idol when I was a baby in the early 1970s; he did look cute here and had been able to mix his style with the 1980s type of music. I saw David 3X in concert and I found it amazing how he still had that mesmerizing effect on his audience. Indeed David was a very talented musician, singer and performer in all ways...it’s sad that his personal demons and genetics caught up to him. Rest In Peace, David.

    G.... 7....

    It was released in 1990....

  79. J.... C....

    Great sound.... I still love him as a longtime preteen crush.

  80. S.... ....

    Far out!! Wanna turn back the clock

  81. s.... t....

    BIG FAN ......RIP Keith

  82. C.... P....

    Awesome song . R I P David. You rocked

  83. J.... J....

    Rip you will be missed :(

  84. P.... L....

    RIP good friend...

  85. C.... V....

    Glad to have worked on this song, David was a joy to work with. RIP my friend.

  86. m.... F....

    If not for David Cassidy I would of never picked a guitar up when I was 8 years old... RIP

  87. C.... R....

    Love and miss you David 😢😢😢😢😢

  88. D.... U....

    Rest In Peace one of the most underrated performers in history

    D.... U....

    As I can recall he was more popular than Elvis and The Beatles

    D.... U....

    @maria medellin he sure was. That's combining Elvis & The Beatles. David's Fan Club was huge. Many of us are bringing back his fan club.

    D.... U....

    He brought a lot of happiness and pleasure to a lot of people. 'Nuff said!

  89. B.... H....

    He could do other styles of music besides bubblegum. Talented guy with charisma and an underrated voice.

  90. C.... k....

    rip David cassdy

  91. T.... C....

    Beautiful man with so much talent!

  92. m.... V....

    He was big in Germany for a reason. RIP Mr. Knight.

  93. K.... M....

    This is a great song. Very underappreciated and underrated. In fact, it sounds better 27 years later than when it was first released. THAT shows the genius of the song. Thank you David. Rest in peace.

    K.... M....

    Love this . I love the vidios when he is actually singing the song. This was a great time in his career.

  94. C.... T....

    R.I.P., he was a talent and had great charisma. This was a great comeback album! (I have an older sister lol). It charted a bit, and then I think the record label went under or something. They were good songs, and all featured rock instrumentation. The next one was softer, and I couldn't get into it. I'm named Keith (born '74), after his PF character, by the way, thanks to my sister's influence.

  95. l.... m....

    david has been set free from all the pain he experienced. I am certain he is in a better place.

  96. S.... _....

    Rest In Peace, David Cassidy. This is my favourite song from U.

  97. G.... ....

    RIP David. Great talent

  98. N.... M....

    You will be missed. Rest in peace.

  99. J.... L....

    Rest easy Dave, you will be missed!

  100. I.... M....

    R.I.P. David.. ;)
