The True Blue
I Want to Believe You
[Chorus]
She says, “I want to believe you”
She says, “I really wanna believe everything that you say when you say it to me”
Huh-huh
“I want to believe”
[Verse 1]
Paranoid at the thoughts that you have when you’re all alone
What you think about at night when you’re tired eyed and on your phone
Alone
And she says, “Stop, ‘cause I know what you’re doing to me
I’ve lost love a million times before”
You think you would know when you get the feeling
What do you fight it for?
[Chorus]
“I want to believe”
She says, “I want to believe you”
(She says)
“I really wanna believe everything that you say when you say it to me”
(She says)
“I want to believe”
[Verse 2]
Terrified of your past and the demons you bottle up
And the shade of the light that you see me in isn’t bright enough
I know that you’ve been shut out before, I won’t do it to you
The voice in my head is saying, “Don’t fuck it up”
Don’t you think you would know when you get the feeling
What do you fight it for?
[Chorus]
“I want to believe”
She says, “I want to believe you”
She says, “I really wanna believe everything that you say when you say it to me”
(She says)
“I want to believe”
[Post-Chorus]
How am I supposed to feel?
(She says)
How am I supposed to feel?
[Bridge]
I’m online and I’m tired of the feeling I’m not good enough
If you think it’s all a façade, girl, I want you to call my bluff
I wanna trust in the way my gut is pulling me
Look hard enough, there might be more to see
And I’ll never know why you fight the feeling
What do you want me for?
[Chorus]
“I want to believe”
She says, “I want to believe you”
(She says)
“I really wanna believe everything that you say when you say it to me”
(She says)
Come on, why don’t you believe?
[Outro]
(You) Get me high
But I just don’t know
‘Cause if I fall, that’s a brand new low
(You) Get me high
But I just don’t know
‘Cause if you leave, then it’s personal
