What will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you.
You better believe there will be times in your life when you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool. So take it from me: you'll learn more from your accident than anything that you could ever learn in school.
I look at some of the songs I wrote years ago and I can't believe I wrote such crap.
People in music lie, but they don't expect you to believe them. People in television actually expect you to believe the lies.
What will it take for you to believe in me, the way that I believe in you?
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage. I've found that just surviving is a noble fight. I once believed in causes too; I had my pointless points of view. And life went on no matter who as wrong or right.
They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known. And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own. Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers eyes...and I can only stand apart and sympathize...for we are only what our situations hand us...it's either sadness or euphoria...
I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies, all I want is someone to believe.
I believe that all important matters have to be settled here, not in the clouds somewhere after we kick off.
For whatever reason, not all people are born with the particular gift of being able to express ourselves through music. And, believe me, it is a gift.
I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own.
They say that these are not the best of timesBut they're the only times I've ever knownAnd I believe there is a time for meditationIn cathedrals of our own.
They say that these are not the best of times But they're the only times I've ever known And I believe there is a time for meditation In cathedrals of our own.
I've only felt content a few times in my life, and it never lasted. I'm very discontented right now. There are situations in my life that didn't pan out. I'm like most other human beings. I try and I fail.
