Lyrics
i believe
i believe
i believe
i believe the love you talk about with me
is it true, do i care
honestly, you can try to wipe the memories aside
but it's you that you erase
'cause there's no place that i could be without you
it's too far to discard the life i once knew
honestly, all the weather and storms i bring
are just a picture of my needs
'cause when i think of you as mine
and allow myself with time
to lead into the life we want
i feel love, honestly
i feel love, yes, honestly
i believe you mean the best that life can bring
i believe in it all
honestly, you can try
your heart is just as long as mine
is it ours to let go
'cause there's not place that i could be without you
it's too dark to discard the life i once knew
honestly, a single wrong is not enough
to cover up the pain in us
'cause when i think of you as mine
and allow myself the time
to lead into the life we want
i feel love, honestly
i'll make a joke so you must laugh
i'll break your heart so you must ask
is this the way to get us back
i don't know, honestly
i don't know, yes, honestly
there's no place that i could be without you
honestly
there's no place that i could be without you
there's no place that i could be without you
there's no place that i could be without you
there's no place that i could be without you
