Believe Me
(Verse 1) Yeah, I feel it too, a pull I can' (Verse 1) Yeah, I'm sitting here with this phone, staring at your name My fingers hovering over the screen, playing this stupid game Of "should I send it?" or "should I just delete?" A thousand unsent texts, a million silent defeats I see you in my memories, a highlight reel on repeat And a part of me believes our story could be sweet But the other half knows better, knows the odds aren't in our favor You're a fantasy, a daydream, a flavor I can't savor I wanted to tell you everything, all the feelings I hold But the words get stuck in my throat, a story left untold 'Cause what if you don't feel the same? What if it's all in my head? What if I finally speak up and wish I'd stayed quiet instead? (Chorus) 'Cause this is real life, not some movie scene Where a big confession fixes everything and makes it clean This ain't a fairytale, there's no magic in the air Just two people on different roads, and a silent, heavy prayer So I'll keep my mouth shut, and let you go your way 'Cause a broken heart's better than a what-if that'll haunt me every day (Verse 2) I'm not gonna run to your door, not gonna stand in the rain Not gonna write you a letter, pouring out all my pain I'm gonna sit here with this feeling, watch it fade with the sun 'Cause that's how it works in the real world, when the race is already run The timing's always off, the circumstances never right We're both living different lives, burning a different light So I'll just be another person, who knew you for a while And you'll be a gentle memory, a silent, painful smile I'll let you go, not with a grand gesture, but with a quiet nod Just another missed connection, in this lonely, long facade Of a life I'm building without you, brick by brick and stone by stone Hoping one day this house of cards won't feel so damn alone. (Chorus) 'Cause this is real life, not some movie scene Where a big confession fixes everything and makes it clean This ain't a fairytale, there's no magic in the air Just two people on different roads, and a silent, heavy prayer So I'll keep my mouth shut, and let you go your way 'Cause a broken heart's better than a what-if that'll haunt me every day
