Believe
Everything I said I wouldn't do, I did
Life just happens and it is what it is
That's how I used to think as a kid
But better learn to swim or you'll sink with the ship
'Cause in a blink of a lid, you'll be twice your age
And then till now is like night and day
And that perfect life that you're fighting for
Can be lost in a series of sliding doors
Too proud to say that you need some help
When you look In the mirror do you see yourself?
See the way I was I couldn't stand it honestly
'Cause the old me was tryna kill the man I wanna be
And so life took me on the scenic route
To reach deep inside and get the demons out
Then turn that storm to vanilla in the summer sky
Caterpillar to a butterfly
I must be going crazy
I got blood across my face
I've got tears that I can taste
I swear this world is tryna break me
'Cause the walls are closing in
And my soul is wearin' thin
But you should know that
I'm right here waiting
When you're done, baby
Had to tell myself I believe in you
Had to tell myself I believe in you
Lord knows I been running from my dream
But I keep trippin' when the devil's tugging on my sleeve
And the game don't stop when the ball's in my hand
But that party life will put a pause on my plans
But we don't make our faith
And mistakes are what shape you and make you great
So to sum it all up into words
I never win or lose, I only win or learn
All the drugs and drink, I'm a victim of that
You know what curiosity did to the cat
We were looking for a high where we knew we'd never land
But now that I'm a dad I'm tryna' be a better man
And the music allowed us to give you something
When it hits home it can stop a kid from jumpin'
I was on the wrong path but I made a turn right
Then I opened my eyes for the very first time, like
I must be going crazy
I got blood across my face
I've got tears that I can taste
I swear this world is tryna break me
'Cause the walls are closing in
And my soul is wearin' thin
But you should know that
I'm right here waiting
When you're done, baby
Had to tell myself I believe in you
Had to tell myself I believe in you
It doesn't matter what god you worship
'Cause here on earth, no body's perfect
You wanna be the hero that saves the day
But the truth is everybody makes mistakes
So, when you're out her fallin' down
And temptation is all around
Put your good foot first and bust out the other side
Just like a butterfly
Livin' in a world where this binge is the norm, and
Every night out was like till six in the morning
But I should be kicking goals, my passion's musical
So why the fuck am I back in this cubical?
Shit, flying off rails
Like a train wreck but I will not fail
So tonight imam pack my bags
And leave the old me behind and the past I've had, like
I must be going crazy
I got blood across my face
I've got tears that I can taste
I swear this world is tryna break me
'Cause the walls are closing in
And my soul is wearin' thin
But you should know that
I'm right here waiting
When you're done, baby
Had to tell myself I believe in you
