Believe

I can’t believe that when I breathe
There’s something good inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me
So close to me that memory
Of that one good thing inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me

If I went out the back door, nobody would stop me
But where would I go?
Cause I ain’t ever had a real home
So what do I know?

So I could keep running, hide until they find me
But what would that do?
If they could only know what I knew
What would it prove?

I should’ve seen the writing on the wall
Instead I’m left to fall
Cause the longer I’m away
The more we stay the same
Looking back, when I thought I knew it all
Instead I’m left to fall
Did I throw it all away?

I can’t believe that when I breathe
There’s something good inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me
So close to me that memory
Of that one good thing inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me

Don’t you know, little boy, they’ll lay you to waste, man
Little do they know every song has a life span
Never taken one, but I’m taking my last chance
To hold all we know and let go with both hands

So, don’t you know that clouds are made from concrete?
Right through the stone can you hear my heart beat?
Beats through my bones like the memory left me
Not for a second or a minute when I dream

I wanna go home like the home that I keep
You can dig six or sixty six feet
We can live forever still your misery missed me
Hold this song together with a bottle of whiskey

Look into the mirror at the lines that time drew
See them painted white and the eyes that shine through
My heart beats heavy in an open chest
And I wanna say goodbye, but there’s nobody left

I can’t believe that when I breathe
There’s something good inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me
So close to me that memory
Of that one good thing inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me

I broke it all and I put it to the test
Put your hand to mine and feel this emptiness
There’s no beat in my chest, cause there’s nothing left
No, it ain’t goodbye, it’s a last caress

What’s another dream, you can hardly sleep
Can you believe bad things only happen to me?
God knows one day you will finally see
That scars will heal but were meant to bleed

Do you realize I would lie for you?
Please have my last breath, I would die for you
I know I’m no good but my heart beats true
You know I’m gonna fight, though I might be scared to lose

You took me in and I fucked it up again
An empty promise, no, I won’t pretend
Cause in the end we need someone to solve them
Nobody can fix me if I’m part of the problem

I can’t believe that when I breathe
There’s something good inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me
So close to me that memory
Of that one good thing inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me
