Believe

I can't believe that when I breathe

That there's somethin' good inside of me

Just one good thing inside

So close me, that memory

Of that one good thing inside of me

Just one good thing inside of me, yeah

If I ran out the backdoor 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 runnin', 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

Lookin' back, would've 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

That there's somethin' good inside of me

Just one good thing inside

So close to me, that memory

Of that one good thing inside of me

Just one good thing inside of me, yeah

Don't you know, little boy, they'll lay you to waste, man?

Little do they know, every song is a lifespan

Never taken one, but I'm takin' my last chance

To hold all we know and let go with both hands

So, don't you know the clouds are made from concrete?

Right through the stone, can you hear my heartbeat?

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 could 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 somethin' good inside of me

Just one good thing inside

So close to me, that memory

Of that one good thing inside of me

Just one good thing inside of me, yeah

I broke it all and I put to the test

Put your hand in mine and feel this emptiness

There's no beat in my chest, 'cause there's nothin' left

No, it ain't goodbye, it's a last caress

What's another dream? You can hardly sleep

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 'em

Nobody can fix me if I'm part of the problem

I can't believe that when I breathe

That there's somethin' good inside of me

Just one good thing inside

So close me, that memory

Of that one good thing inside of me

Just one good thing inside of me, yeah
