intro I was holding on, now I'm letting go This is nothing more than a picture show Everything I knew now I hardly know Busy keeping less never getting more One more nickel dime I'm out the door This kind of life I can't afford I want to believe There's something to believe I would live only Just to believe Oh, I'd love to believe It's not only me that's longing Only just to believe, so believe 'Cause I want to believe I want to believe oh oh Can't put my mind at ease with the words I say Trying to get myself to get out of my way Birds in the trees just make me depressed Seeing sunny skies, feeling emptiness Layers of lies just seem to fold This kind of life is all I know I want to believe There's something to believe I would live only Just to believe Oh, I'd love to believe It's not only me that's longing Only just to believe, so believe 'Cause I want to believe I want to believe oh oh Murder wears a friendly smile Like the perfect end in a plastic vial No pain Sorry I can't seem to stay But this bird was meant to fly away Fly away, fly away Layers of lies just seem to fold This kind of life is all I know I want to believe There's something to believe I would live only Just to believe Oh, I'd love to believe It's not only me that's longing Only just to believe, so believe 'Cause I want to believe I want to believe oh oh I will believe I'd love to believe I can believe in something I will believe I'd love to believe I can't believe in nothing
