I try to keep up, I swear that I do. 
But every time I look up I lose site of you. 
I never wanted to be the way that I am, 
But it's not my fault, it's just my circumstance. 

Believe me, believe me when I say, 
I never wanted it this way. Believe me when I say, 
I always tried to do my best. I gotta get this off my chest. 
I wanted to be just where you are 
Cause you're a beacon of light that awakens the stars. 
I see you holding a fire, deep in your heart, 
I know I'm not the one but I'll play the part. 

Believe me, believe me when I say, 
I never wanted it this way. Believe me when I say, 
I always tried to do my best. I gotta get this off my chest. 

Someday soon, I'll be alright again. 
I pray you've not forgot. Someday you will see the light again, 
And find all that you've lost.
