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.
