I'd Like To Believe You Lyrics

In the quiet shadows where secrets lay,

You spoke your love, then turned away.

Promises like whispers in the pouring rain,

Now they're just echoes of the pain.

I'd like to believe you, wish I could see through,

The veil you've drawn over the truth.

I'd like to believe you, I'd like to trust again,

But your words are ghosts that haunt my head.

Every 'I love you' now sounds so hollow,

I'd like to believe you, but it's a bitter pill to swallow.

We danced in moonlight, swore under stars,

But your lies, they left deeper scars.

You said forever, I heard a lie,

Now all I've got are tears that I cry.

I'd like to believe you, wish I could see through,

How you broke us in two with your ruse.

I'd like to believe you, I'd like to trust again,

But your words are ghosts that haunt my head.

Every 'I love you' now sounds so hollow,

I'd like to believe you, but it's a bitter pill to swallow.

Could you look me in the eyes, tell me, what do you see?

Is there a flicker of the love that used to be?

Or just the shadow of a girl, who stood by my side,

Believed in fairy tales, now where does she reside?

In the silence of the night, I hear your voice,

Whispering of a time when I was your choice.

I'd like to believe in the tales you told,

But all that glitters surely isn't gold.

I'd like to believe you, I'd like to trust again,

But your words are ghosts that haunt my head.

Every 'I love you' now sounds so hollow,

I'd like to believe you, but it's a bitter pill to swallow.

So here's my goodbye, it's time I set free,

The dreams you sold so cheaply to me.

I'd like to believe you, but love's no longer in view,

Goodbye to a believer, who once believed in you.
