Believe,
How can you not see?
How cant you see all the pain I have inside of me?
How cant you see the monster that follow's me?
All you see is the person I used to be
Why don't you believe in me

Working to make you believe

Believe in me and who I can be
Because I need you
And I know you need me
And who I will be
