Believe In Me

Verse1

Why don't you look me in the eye

can't you see the pieces of you

on the inside

why don't you open your mind

let me in

let me step inside

why don't you take a look at yourself

tell me it's not what's on the outside

that counts

so open up yourself

I'll walk inside your mind

Verse2

Why don't you wake up

look up at the sky

I see the stars

in your eyes

a million of them

to tell me all your lies

why can't you be honest with yourself

and everybody else

Bridge

Why won't you look me in the eye

tell me the truth

'cause I'm not blind

tell me what you wanna hear

tell me what's on your mind

Chorus

I just want you to

Believe In Me

take me for what I am

take me for granted

take me for everything

just Believe In Me

take me for who I am

take me for what I was

take me for who I'll be

just Believe In Me

Believe In Me

Verse3

Call out my name

scream it in vein

take no chances

pull no punches

put my soul on display

put my life in misery

drown it right outta me

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

Verse4

You might take my soul away

leave me blind

unable to feel anything

but I'll still be this way

'cause you don't care

you won't turn the other cheek

you turn and throw it all away

(solo)

Repeat Chorus

Verse5

You take me for granted

you take it all away

you take me for who I am

put me on display

pull the life outta me

then you run away

you take everything

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was in Columbus, IN one day and this melody ran through my mind and the chorus jumped in there. It was one of those things where I had to write the words immediately when I got home or I would've forgotten it altogether.
