Believe

So after all those one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A child alone
On your own
Retreating

Regretful for the things you're not
And all the dreams you haven't got
Without a home
A heart of stone
Lies bleeding

Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
The grown-up wings
You needed

But when you had to add them up
You found that there were not enough
To get you in
And pay for sins
Repeated

And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the things you had to leave behind

And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you cried
And for all the fears you had to keep inside

Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
All I ask of you
Is believe
