Believe Me

I try to keep up, I swear that I do
But every time I look up I lose sight of you
I never wanted to be the way that I am
But it's not my fault, it's just my circumstance

Believe me, believe me when I say
I never wanted it this way
Believe me when I say
I always tried to do my best
I gotta get this off my chest

I wanted to be just where you are
'Cause you're a beacon of light that awakens the stars
I see you holding a fire, deep in your heart
I know I'm not the one but I'll play the part

Believe me, believe me when I say
I never wanted it this way
Believe me when I say
I always tried to do my best
I gotta get this off my chest

Someday soon, I'll be alright again
I pray you've not forgot
Someday you will see the light again
And find all that you've lost

Believe me, believe me when I say
I never wanted it this way
Believe me when I say

Believe me, believe me when I say
I never wanted it this way
Believe me when I say
I always tried to do my best
I gotta get this off my chest
