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 G D

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
