Believe Me By: Anna Stowers Don’t lie to me But I’m not, I’m telling the truth No you’re not Why won’t you listen? Can’t you see I’m drowning? Am I really that unimportant to you? I’m not happy, I never was Well try harder and be happy It isn’t that easy If you really care, why can’t I trust you? You claim to love me, but if this is love, I don’t want anything to do with it. Are you really so blind you can’t see I’m like a baby bird, Helpless and afraid. You tell me to jump, I’ll fly So I listen to you, and I fall. Now I’m stuck in this pit, and it’s your fault.
