- Susan Manley
[verse 1]
I used to think that love was not real
Just a shadow, a game, a fleeting ideal
I thought it was a trick
a chemical lie
A fleeting transaction
just passing by
[pre-chorus]
But then you came
the world rewrote
Every doubt... every fear... every bitter note.
For all you lonely souls, I cannot promise fate
But if love finds you, it’s worth the wait
[chorus]
You made a believer out of me
Love isn’t logic; it’s wild, it’s free
It doesn’t wear a mask... it doesn’t check the score
It’s the fire in your soul... the light at your core
You made a believer out of me
Love is chaos; love is harmony
It breaks the rules... it defies the plans
It’s the world reborn when it takes your hand
[verse 2]
They say success is six figures, six feet tall
Six of this, six of that—but love ignores it all
It doesn’t play by rules, it doesn’t care for pride
When you match on the soul, nothing else can divide
[bridge]
I thought I could engineer it
Plan it... script it... steer it...
I thought I’d write the book... change the game
But love found me first and showed me the way
And in hindsight, my plan was cruel
I almost turned love into a lifeless tool
But love laughed at me, it turned me around
Now I sing its truth with the joy I’ve found!
[chorus]
You made a believer out of me
Love isn’t logic; it’s wild, it’s free
It doesn’t wear a mask, it doesn’t check the score
It’s the fire in your soul, the light at your core
You made a believer out of me
Love is fierce yet it's harmony
It breaks the rules, it defies all plans
It’s you world reborn when it takes your hand!
[outro]
For all you lonely souls, I cannot say
If or when love will find your way
But when it does, you’ll understand.
It’s not in the measures... the rules... or a brand
It’s wild, it’s deep, it’s true, it’s real
It’s the one thing you’ll always feel
You made a believer out of me!
my love made a believer out of me
believer out of me
[end]
