You Gotta Believe

Went the wrong way down a one-way street
My self-esteem died and you blamed it on me
I am falling, losing this tug of war
So far down, pour a little more

Tell me how many lives you'll need
You took mine now, I've been weak
Now I'm here begging, knees on the floor
I still wanna live some more

So, you gotta believe it
That's right, ain't no easy way to get it
So, you gotta believe it
That's life, ain't no easy way to get what you need

I hurt myself to see if I bleed
Wanna find out if I'm in a dream
If I die now I just be one more
If I'm alive I'll open other doors

Tell me how many times I'll see
Something new threatening me
I've been hurt so many times before
But I still want to live some more

So, you gotta believe it
That's right, ain't no easy way to get it
So, you gotta believe it
That's life, ain't no easy way to get what you need

Went the wrong way down a one-way street
And I hurt myself to see if I bleed
I've been hurt so many times before
If I die now I'll just be one more
Tell me how many lives you'll need
You took mine now I've been weak
But I still want to live some more
