(I HOPE...)
how do I believe you now?
after all the lies
how do I believe you now?
after all the tries
that ended in failure
now I expect failure
from you...
oh after all the betrayals, now
how do I know what is true?
after all is said and done...
how do I believe in you?
I close my eyes to what has been
to reality and truth
I set sail for the fantasies
I longed for in my youth
I give up wanting to be sure
for just wanting your love
and maybe then you'll understand
you're what I'm dreaming of
how do I trust you now?
after all the hurts
how do I trust you now?
when I know your love deserts?
and abandons me well
to a misery spell
I knew
from my worst nightmares you gave me hell, now
I am lost in deepest blue
so after all is said and done...
how do I trust you?
just suspend belief in what I think and feel
ignore the pain and fear
I jump off the highest cliff
hoping you'll be there
going against all the evidence
for just wanting you to care
and maybe then you'll believe that
you're the one I want to share
well you wanted proof
that you wouldn't be betrayed again
and you tried everything you could
you made me count to a million and ten
we raged and we cried and we hid and we lied
and we kept the truth hidden inside
we both wanted proof that we could trust each other
well can the proof now be denied?
only if our sense of truth died
so what do you say?
if you still don't know
then give the kids to someone
who has some sense left
and let's locked ourselves away
in an asylum
play board games and sing songs
about what could have been
unless there's still a chance
that we are still alive
and somewhere deep inside
a sense of truth survives
then let's just start again
call it a draw and say
we've all the proof we need
to trust starting today
how do I believe in you now?
there is one simple key
how do I trust you now?
unconditionally
how do I believe in you now?
the same way you believe in me
just believe this sense of truth
and all that's meant to be
just believe in and trust our love
and please come home to me
Proof
