Believing in Me

+ Show full styles

Verse 1
They told me you loved a steady man,
One who could walk where dreamers ran,
A quiet fire, a fearless mind,
The kind who never looked behind.

But every room that held your face
Turned all my courage into haze,
I watched myself through your imagined eyes,
And failed before I even tried.

Pre-Chorus
I thought you saw the worst in me,
But I was the one who wouldn't let me breathe.

Chorus
So I closed my eyes and changed the scene,
Made you a friend instead of a dream,
No mountain to climb, no heart to win,
No perfect man I had to pretend.
And when I stopped asking, “What does she see?”
Something locked inside broke free—
I went there hoping you'd believe in me,
And came home believing in me.

Verse 2
That night the room felt strangely light,
My words no longer had to hide,
I stood and spoke before the crowd,
No shaking hands, no thoughts too loud.

And somewhere there across the room,
You weren't a verdict anymore,
Just someone I had hoped to know—
While I was learning to let myself show.

Pre-Chorus
Nothing outside had really changed,
I simply stepped outside my cage.

Bridge
A week went by, my telephone rang,
A voice said, “We want you—come begin.”
A better road, a better pay,
A door I thought was miles away.

And suddenly I understood:
Maybe wishing never changed the world—
Maybe I just moved aside
And let the man I buried come alive.

Final Chorus
I closed my eyes to change the scene,
But what I changed was something in me.
I didn't need your heart to prove
That I was worthy of being loved.
You were the spark, but not the key—
The door had always been in me.
I went there hoping you'd believe in me...
And walked away
believing in me.

Outro
No perfect man,
No grand disguise—
Just my own heart
Behind my eyes.
