BELIEVE IN ME Chorus I’ve got something to prove to myself. I need to clear a space, I need to make you see. Everyday I put myself through hell. And all I really need, is to know that you believe in me. Verse I remember every word you said. Burning through my mind, thoughts erasing fast. Measuring the outcomes in my head, Tumbling inside, I’m living in the past. Bridge You give me so much more than I could give to you. I need you more and no, not anyone would do. Verse I remember falling through the void, Tumbling to the ground, wondering my fate. Suddenly you’re calling through the noise, You help me when I’m down, before it gets too late. Bridge You give me so much more than I could give to you. I need you more and no, not anyone would do. Chorus I’ve got something to prove to myself. I need to clear a space, I need to make you see. Everyday I put myself through hell. And all I really need, is to know that you believe in me. All I really need, is to know that you believe in me.

It Started With You It started with you, Started where I first came to. It’s just how we were made. The feelings they don’t fade. I thought I was safe, Thought that I was in my place. You never let it show, Never let me grow. But you understand me. I fought for my life, Living on the edge of a knife. Knowing someday I would fall, Knowing I could lose it all. I waited for truth, Waited just to hear from you. I never understood, Never knew I would. But I understand you. I’ve caused a lot of pain, And I take my share of blame. But it started with you.

How Did We Get Here? Why can't I feel your love? I never wanted to control you. What am I not enough, why did you turn so cold? I only wanna hold you. When you're not by my side, Do you know how much I want you? Baby I must confide, I’ll do anything I’m told. I only wanna hold you. So how did we get here? Didn't I tell you you're my only one? Drowning in my tears, Knowing soon I'll be the lonely one. When you've been gone so long? Do you ever start to miss me? Baby you got it wrong, I’d never make you cry. You can feel when you kiss me. So how did we get here? Didn’t I tell you you’re my only one? Drowning in my tears, Knowing soon I’ll be the lonely one. How did we get here?

Man I Wanna Be VERSE I don’t wanna fuss, I don’t wanna fight. But there’s a part of me I didn’t want you to see. Well I’ve been working so hard to try and find the light, I’ve forgotten all about the darkness in me. VERSE You see I’ve been roaming for too long, I can’t seem to stay in one place anymore. Before I even realize why I feel so wrong, I’d be walking right out the door - but no more. CHORUS How am I gonna make you see, How am I gonna make you understand? The part of me you wanna leave, Is the part of me that’s not the man I wanna be. VERSE NowI don’t need to be forgiven by you, I know you won’t ask me again to stay. The time may come for me to cross that line, But this time I won’t get in my own way. CHORUS How am I gonna make you see, How am I gonna make you understand? The part of me you wanna leave, Is the part of me that’s not the man... CHORUS How am I gonna make you see, How am I gonna make you understand? The part of me you wanna leave, Is the part of me that’s not the man I wanna be. CODA How am I gonna make you see? See the man, I want to be.
