I was holding on, now I'm letting go
  This is nothing more than a picture show
  Everything I knew now I hardly know
  Busy keeping less never getting more
  
  One more nickel dime I'm out the door
  This kind of life I can't afford
  
  I want to believe
  There's something to believe
  I would live only
  Just to believe
  Oh, I'd love to believe
  It's not only me that's longing
  Only just to believe
  'Cause I want to believe
  I want to believe
  
  Can't put my mind at ease with the words I say
  Trying to get myself to get out of my way
  Birds in the trees just make me depressed
  Seeing sunny skies, feeling emptiness
  
  Layers of lies just seem to fold
  This kind of life is all I know
  
  I want to believe
  There's something to believe
  I would live only
  Just to believe
  Oh, I'd love to believe
  It's not only me that's longing
  Only just to believe
  'Cause I want to believe
  I want to believe
  
  Murder wears a friendly smile
  Like the perfect end in a plastic vial
  No pain
  Sorry I can't seem to stay
  But this bird was meant to fly away
  Fly away, fly away
  
  Layers of lies just seem to fold
  This kind of life is all I know
  
  I want to believe
  There's something to believe
  I would live only
  Just to believe
  Oh, I'd love to believe
  It's not only me that's longing
  Only just to believe
  'Cause I want to believe
  I want to believe
  
  I will believe
  I'd love to believe
  I can believe in something
  I will believe
  I'd love to believe
  I can't believe in nothing
