I Believe

When I was just a little girl
My momma used to tuck me into bed and she read me a story
It always was about a Princess in distress
And how a guy would save her and end up with the glory

I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I wanted to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me

(Chorus)
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no-one else
I'd rather rescue myself

Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants my soul, heart and mind
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me

taking care of me

I will be there for him just as strong as he, will be there for me
When I give myself then it has got to be, an equal thing

(Chorus)

I can slay, my own dragon
I can dream, my own dreams
My knight in shining armour is me
So I'm gonna set me free

(Chorus)

I can call him mine

It was only a matter of time
Before I got tired of your ways
I tried to make you fire,
But you were only ice
And you didn't seem to wanna change

So then I looked at someone new
And he was looking back at me too
Saw that I was hurt
Knew just what to say
Knew just how to push the pain away

You know I need stability
And you know you can't give it to me

Chorus
My sun may never rise the way it did with you,
And he may never kiss me the way that you'd do
But at least he makes me feel like a part of his life
At least he doesn't make me cry
I know I can call him mine

Though when I call him on the phone
I never feel butterflies
I know that I can trust
He'll always give me love
And I know mine will grow for him in time

He tells me that I'm beautiful
And I never ever heard that from you
He doesn't cause me pain
Tears falling like the rain
And though I'm still in love with you
You know I need stability

(Chorus)


goodbye
And find someone who appreciates me even though even though

La la la la

When I'm down and all alone
When nothing seems to matter
When I lose my hope
When I'm sad and confused

When it all gets turned around and

I guess I didn't read the sign at all
You call me darling
Say that you're in love
But it doesn't feel like you mean it
Although I've never been in love before
I'm sure it must be so much more than this
Cause I've never been so unhappy

Everything's wrong and backwards
Upside down
Ahh.. I'm letting you touch me but I'm cold inside
This ain't right

Chorus
Sorry, I'm sorry that it's over now
We stand alone and we know it's gone,
Can't live without love
It's hard for me to know that you'll be sorry
And I don't wanna see you cry
No matter what I say, no matter what I do, you'll
Be sorry anyway

I still remember how I felt that night
The stars where out and made it all seem right
I guess I fooled myself into falling
Without a shadow of a doubt
I looked straight into his eyes
And that was the night
And I really do miss that feeling

Everything's wrong and backwards
Upside down
Ahh.. I'm letting you touch me but I'm cold inside
This ain't right

(Chorus)

I don't know how to be strong when it's over
Can't face the lonely hour
It feels so wrong but it's right to tell you now
Oh I don't know why, I just wanna to cry
Oh why, It's time to let go but I want you to know I'm

(Chorus)

Tears, money, honey on my bread
Sugar on my pillow, songs in my head
Head to the church, I love to repent
Say what I mean when it's not what I meant

I want to lay in bed on Monday
Wearing a diamond-studded hat
Live a good life, a full life, do it all again
Love will never-ever lose a thousand men

Chorus
I want what I want, I want it now
I feel what I feel, don't bring me down
I know what I know, I don't know how
But I want what I want, and I want it now

I want to lead, follow, wallow in the mud
Do it for my daddy, do it for God
God knows I'm a getting it wrong
But who the hell cares when you're getting it on

I want something to believe in
When it all comes crashing down
Re-make the world no pain, no violence
Turn up the volume till there's total silence

(Chorus)

So take me to an angel who has seen it all before
Cause tonight I need an angel to come walking through my door

Do it for my daddy, do it for God
God knows I'm getting it wrong, but who the hell cares

(Chorus)
