I Need To Believe

  • Last night in "Atlanta," I was just so tired
    I felt empty, I felt full of lead
    I sang to the red glow of the "exit" sign
    As if it were the light at the end

    How much longer can I go?
    Singing to them if they don't come back
    Again and again

    When it's so hard not to feel
    That the beauty isn't real
    That it's never good enough

    I need to believe, I need to believe
    That there's nothing wrong with the songs I'm singing
    I need to believe, I need to believe
    That I do belong in this world I live in
    All of the cruel lies I hear myself say, throw them away
    I need to believe, I need to believe
    That there's nothing wrong with the songs
    I'm singing

    When I flew back to Boston, I was just so wired
    I felt angry, I felt full of dread
    I sat by a window and I looked outside
    And through the tears, I saw the sunset

    How much longer can I go?
    What if I lose myself and don't come back
    Again and again?

    When it's so hard not to feel
    That the clouds are all that's real
    That the sun is never coming back, never coming back, never coming back

    Well, I need to believe, I need to believe
    That there's nothing wrong with the songs I'm singing
    I need to believe, I need to believe
    That I do belong in this world I live in
    All of the cruel lies I hear myself say, throw them away
    I need to believe, I need to believe
    That there's nothing wrong with the songs

    I'm singing, oh no
    I'm still singing, oh no

    I need to believe, I need to believe
    That there's nothing wrong with the songs I'm singing
    I need to believe, I need to believe
    That I do belong in this world I live in
    All of the cruel lies I hear myself say, throw them away
    I need to believe, I need to believe
    That there's nothing wrong with the songs
    I'm singing
    I'm singing
    Still singing, oh. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
