i need you to believe

like i've never needed anything before

sometimes it's hard for me to see

so i can't imagine what it must be like for you right now

so many hopes, so many dreams

i've pushed aside so many things

and i'm clinging in desperation to the same monotonous claim

that this time it will be different somehow

---

yet every time i tell you how it's going to be

you close your eyes like you're watching it happen

then you smile up at me

---

what would i do without you

i can't even breathe without you

you're the saving grace that's kept me from caving in

after every fall i've taken

every downard turn, every negative word that's left my heart breaking

you're beside me to pull me to my feet again

---

never stop believing

and i'll never stop reaching

if you never stop believing in me
