I once believed in you Like a promise that could never be broken Like a song that could never be unsung Like a grief that could not be undone I once believed in you When you spoke to me of forevers Cried and said you’d never leave Lifted me out of my self-destruction I once believed in you When you spoke profusely of love When you wiped my tears unceasingly When you told me I made you whole I once believed in you When you made me believe that I was family When you gave me a home When you wrapped me in your arms I once believed in you When you swore to always fight To keep pushing each other forward And to never let one another be anything less I once believed And maybe that was my biggest mistake For how was I to know You were not a man at all I once believed Then you hit me like a hurricane Spouting lies, and falsities, and blunders That never even occurred I once believed You were strong in your convictions A man of principal and power A real blessing in disguise I once believed You’d sit down with me and talk Listen to what I had to say And realize my heart was pure I once believed But each day that becomes more and more like a memory When I see you are not the man I thought you to be at all I once believed You loved me But now I’m not sure if I believe in that at all

I Believed
I once believed in you Like a promise that could never be broken Like a song that could never be unsung Like a grief that could not be undone I once believed in you When you spoke to me of forevers Cried and said you’d never leave Lifted me out of my self-destruction I once believed in you When you spoke profusely of love When you wiped my tears unceasingly When you told me I made you whole I once believed in you When you made me believe that I was family When you gave me a home When you wrapped me in your arms I once believed in you When you swore to always fight To keep pushing each other forward And to never let one another be anything less I once believed And maybe that was my biggest mistake For how was I to know You were not a man at all I once believed Then you hit me like a hurricane Spouting lies, and falsities, and blunders That never even occurred I once believed You were strong in your convictions A man of principal and power A real blessing in disguise I once believed You’d sit down with me and talk Listen to what I had to say And realize my heart was pure I once believed But each day that becomes more and more like a memory When I see you are not the man I thought you to be at all I once believed You loved me But now I’m not sure if I believe in that at all
