Believe

I was naive to wear my heart on my sleeve
Sharing every piece of me
Let you in, tell you all my secrets, meant to understand
But nothing ever goes as planned
And nothing’s ever quite what it seems
You can’t believe what you won’t believe
The words you say when you’re judging me just cause you grief
You can’t believe what you won’t believe
You made your mind up before I speak, just leave me be
Vulnerable, you think you’ve got the upper hand
Guess I’m gullible, trusting you’d still feel the same
I try to explain there’s no need to bother
I wear my sins as a badge of honor
You can’t believe what you won’t believe
The words you say when you’re judging me just cause you grief
You can’t believe what you won’t believe
You made your mind up before I speak, just leave me be
Just leave me be
I’m not the person you made me out to be
You’re blind, so blind, too blind to see
I try, I only feel alone, I try, I try
But something’s hurt worse than sticks and stones
And nothing’s ever quite what it seems
You can’t believe what you won’t believe
The words you say when you’re judging me just cause you grief
You can’t believe what you won’t believe
You made your mind up before I speak, just leave me be
Leave me be
Leave me be
Leave me be
