Believe

(Nu Soul)

Now you say I must be out my mind
But I can't help but see love is blind
Open your eyes, take good advice
Still got time left to walk away
In hindsight, I realize
But if you ask me today what made me stay
I'd say that

I wanted to believe
I wanted us to make it, baby
I wanted to believe
I was lookin' forward, baby
To everything you said in every way
But fuck what people say
Is this real?
Can you make me believe in love?

I was in love with her, yeah
You was in love with him, huh (yeah)
Thought I was
And we fucked up and cheated on both of them
The beginning of the end of love for us
Listen, uh
I've been tryin' (what?), I've been dyin' (yeah)
I've been buyin' ever since
Nothin' ever come with ease, this feelin' inside of me
Got a nigga on his knees, all because he wanted to believe it

I wanted to believe, oh
I wanted us to make it, baby
I wanted to believe (yeah yeah)
I was lookin' forward, baby
To everything you said in every way, yeah
But fuck what people say (say, yeah, yeah)
Is this real? (Is this real?)
Can you make me believe in love? (Uh)

I was in mode, I was like "Hold on, fuck what people say, uh"
You was on roads, I was like "No, she would never act this way, uh"
I was like, "Yes," she was like, "Go," I was like, "Tell me which way"
Blinded by the thought and prayed on and now I regret this every day
One, we be headed down the wrong path
Phase two, everybody predicted that this shit wasn't gon' last
They knew and I did too, I was so determined to pull this through
I was so determined to win with you
I was so addicted to fix this shit I had to prove

I wanted to believe
I wanted us to make it, baby
I wanted to believe
I was lookin' forward, baby
To everything you said in every way
But fuck what people say
Is this real?
Can you make me believe in love?

Uh, ohh
Believe in love (give a fuck what people say, ha, ha)
Can you make me believe in love?
Ohh, baby, ohh, oh
This is real love (you do it for love)
Wanna believe (you do it for trust)
Oh, baby, your guard, you let your guard down, down
Oh no, oh no, no
