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.

Believe me, believe me when I say,
I never wanted it this way, believe me when I say,
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.
