Lyrics
i believed it when he said it
so i put it in my mind,
somewhere near the back-
with all the other shit i’d hide
it was a bold sort of intention-
repercussions still unknown
it was chipping away at the healthy state
of these fortresses i’d grown
you know, i believed it when he said it
thought i knew what it was for
i’m just not sure i believe it anymore
no, i don’t believe it anymore….
i don’t believe it anymore….
and i imagined when i’d learned it
it was a detour on my way
there’d be work-arounds and hacks
occasional easy days
that’s what i’d imagined when i’d learned it
something bigger for me was in store
i’m just not sure i imagine that anymore
no, i don’t imagine anymore….
i don’t imagine anymore….
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK I
and you know i felt it when they told me
that all that’s left is here for good
a bittersweet emotion
to have my future understood
but it was that feeling when they told me
honesty i thought i was waiting for
i’m just not sure i can feel it anymore
no, i can’t feel it anymore
i can’t feel it anymore
