If I condense my words into a song Could your courage finally come? How could I get it to stay inside your frame Like a ship inside that bottle? With grace and speed I’d then proceed To fold it by its seems And then I’d push it down your throat And let it settle where your heart used to be
‘Cause I believe in you, do you believe in you?
Just say, “even if my love is thrown away Then I will build it back again one day And even if my love is thrown away Then I will overcome and bravely say ‘I won’t let myself be afraid’”
See, I was taking baby steps To get where I needed to be But I let the courage lead to giant leaps And it brought that girl to me Now everything she touches turns to gold And flowers grow in her footsteps Every word is wise, every tear she cries Is an ocean on my map
I swear I believe in you, do you believe in you?
Just say, “even if my love is thrown away Then I will build it back again one day And even if my love is thrown away Then I will overcome and bravely say ‘I won’t let myself be afraid’ ‘I won’t let myself be afraid’”
And I’ve been saying I believe in you But do you believe in you too? Wedding bells won’t ring until you break your shell And learn to love yourself
And then even if your love is thrown away Then you will build it back again one day And even if your love is thrown away Then you will overcome and bravely say You won’t let yourself be afraid
