I Want To Believe
Haven’t been able to move from this bed
Only just turned on my room light at 6 p.m.
All these tears pulled out by this sinking feeling
I feel like I know you, but do I really?
Moved your present from last month into my closet
Back when I thought this could be everything I wanted
Finally felt I’d arrived home, unpacking my bags
But I’ve been hurt before by ignoring red flags
Wish I had enough clarity
To let me get past this
I'm sorry if it's not true
But I can’t take any chances
(Refrain):
Don’t wanna wake up, ‘cause when I open my eyes
I gotta close them soon as I recall you’re not mine
Wrote passionate words with adoring rhymes
Was on the edge of “I love you” so, so many times
I choke up thinking how yesterday we were laughing
Saw a future with you, didn’t think this would happen
I want to believe you, that it could have all been fine
It’s too confusing, but just know you’re still on my mind
How I’ll miss your touch, and how I’ll miss your kiss
From your tender hands and your soft, beautiful lips
Had fantasies about us, all the time, every place
Even now, I’m still wishing I was kissing your face
Maybe some day I’ll take your present back out
But looking at it just hurts far too much right now
Thought you were perfect for me, and maybe you were
Wanna think you were truthful, but I can’t know for sure
What we had seemed a rarity
But I just can’t get past this
I'm sorry if I hurt you
But I can’t take any chances
(refrain)
If you see this, just know my heart is breaking
And I wish I knew for sure who was faking
But I don’t, and you know you can’t blame me
And you know I wish I could still call you my baby
Looking at your face, that beautiful smile
My heart felt something it hadn’t in a while
Laying on my lap as I caressed your cheek
The way you gazed up at me was the highlight of my week
You said I made you happy
I’m sorry I can’t stay
You made me happy too
And I hope you’ll be okay
(refrain)
You said I made you happy
I’m sorry I can’t stay
You made me happy too
And I hope you’ll be okay
I hope you’ll be okay.
