Lyrics

I STILL BELIEVE

Well I look into the mirror
And I don’t like what I see
Just a bag of vain excuses
That looks a lot like me
I got one hand on the bible
And the other on the door
It’s a lesson in survival
Nothing more

So I found myself a woman
And she put me on the stand
And I just stood there grinning
With my necktie in my hand
‘Cause it’s so hard to live up to
When you’re broken at the core
I ran out of ways to hide it
And she couldn’t take no more

It’s so hard to face the future
Wearing your illusions
On your sleeve
So I close my eyes
And look for signs of life
But I still believe
I still believe

Well you know I tried religion
And I tried therapy
There ain’t much that makes it go
Much easier for me
So I lost myself in liquor
And found myself in pain
But I think I got that backwards
Cos it’s happening again

It’s so hard to face the future
Mile after mile on my knees
And the waterline
Is rising higher now
But I still believe (I still believe)
I still believe (I still believe)

I believe in second chances
I believe in laying low
I believe in the redemption
That comes from letting go
And I believe in truth and justice
And in faith in God and man
I believe in the surrender
And I’d do it if I can

It’s so hard to face the future
Ain’t no closer than I thought I’d be
And I swear I don’t know how
But I still believe (I still believe)
I still believe (I still believe)
I still believe (I still believe)
I still believe (I still believe)
I still believe
