BELIEVING IN ME

Pay attention to the words you say
They blow away with the wind
But they will find you again
Don't ever stand in front of me
Like I am nothing at all and you can lie to me
Speaking in person may be harder than it seems
Since your floating further away,
And you have nothing to say
Your chance is slim
Your skull is thick
And the only choice you have is
Believing in me

I see the way the waves will crumble
Everything you've ever loved
I shouldn't need to
Explain myself to you

I see the way
The waves are falling into place
Though the days will come and go
You'll see the pace begin to change
But the coast is nothing more
Then the edge of all you'll see
So believe me
(believe me)
Speaking in person may be harder than it seems.

So just lift up your head and look past the life we know
I swear I'm doing everything I can to not let my harshest feelings show

You see me tearing through the roots
There's nothing left
Building from the ground
With thick cement
I gave it all I had
I tried my best
But still you won't be there for me
So tell me why,
Why should I be there for you?

Answer me this,
If you won't be there for me,
Then why should I be there for you?
Do I even belong here,
Or do you want something else?
I said answer me this,
Do you want something else?

You see me tearing through the roots,
There's nothing left
And now I'm building from the ground
With thick cement
And I've been looking for a way
To fix this mess
I gave it all I had
I tried my best
But still you won't be there for me
So tell me why,
Why should I be there for you?

I'm sorry to say,
I haven't been myself.
I'm sitting here,
In this room,
With some clothes,
On the shelves,
And all we have of wealth,
Is the importance of our health,
Each family member torn from home,
all fending for themselves.

I see the way
The waves are falling into place
Though the days will come and go
You'll see the pace begin to change
But the coast is nothing more
Then the edge of all you'll see
So believe me
(believe me)
Speaking in person may be harder than it seems.

I can see the sun setting
Ten thousand miles away
I watch alone as the tide rolls in
Sweeping seas of green and blue
They're pulling me under
And I can't fight this current for much longer
Still I promise I'll keep my head above water
