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

'Cause I want to believe

I want to believe



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

'Cause I want to believe

I want to believe



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

'Cause I want to believe

I want to believe



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
