[Verse 1 - low, warm, natural] Nobody actually knows Everybody's just going forward The ones who seem the surest They're making it up too You're not finished yet You were never meant to be You're still becoming who you are And you get to say who that is [low and even, natural, stays in a low range] And I believe you More than you do right now I'm not gonna tell you who to be You already know, you always did So when it's quiet And you're looking in the mirror Whatever you say to her Make it I believe you [Verse 2 - low, warm, natural] You don't owe anybody The version everybody's waiting for Not the loud one, not the sure one Not the one who's already there You're allowed to still be figuring it out That's not behind, that's alive The only one who gets a vote Is the one looking back at you [low and even, natural, stays in a low range] And I believe you More than you do right now I'm not gonna tell you who to be You already know, you always did So when it's quiet And you're looking in the mirror Whatever you say to her Make it I believe you [Bridge - low, warm, natural] I won't always be a voice you can call So I'm leaving it here, where you'll find it Long after I'm just something you feel Instead of someone you reach The world is yours now, all of it It was always going to be I had my turn, and you were the best of it Now go be the best of yours [low and even, stays low, music swells a little warmer] So I believe you Both of you, I do Not who I pictured, not who anyone wants you to be Just exactly who you are And on the mornings it's hard to look Look anyway, and say it The one thing that's always been true I believe you [Outro - low and warm] Go on I believe you Go on [End] Lyrics © 2026 Paul Pfanner.
