Can't Believe It

November 14, 2012
By Anonymous

Maybe there's been something wrong
With me this whole long time
I couldn't tell you anything
I know you'd judge it like a crime

When you told me I need to change
I didn't know how but I tried
When you told me you had love for me
I shouldn't have believed the lie

Don't tell me, you have the right
To decide what's right
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I woke up, I know you're not true
And you still want me
To sail away with you
I can't believe it
I can't believe it

Maybe I've been too gullible
I was hoping for someone to come save me from myself
You were too good to be true
I'm still collecting dust up on the shelf

Don't tell me, you have the right
To declare what's right
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I woke up, this daydream wasn't true
And you still want me
To believe in you
I can't believe it
I can't believe it

Why do I want to
When I know that you've been so wrong
Why am I so pathetic
When you need me to be strong

But I can't believe it
I still can't believe you

Written about a situation where me and a friend both told each other terrible things about ourselves...and I'm still in disbelief, actually.
