believe lyrics

So after all those one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A child alone, on your own, retreating

Regretful for the things you're not
And all the things you haven't got
Without a home, a heart of stone, lies bleeding

And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the dreams you had to leave behind

I am the way, I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams

Don't turn away, just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there, I'll never leave
And all I ask of you, believe

Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string, the grown-up wings
You needed

But when you had to add them up
You found that there were not enough
To get you in, pay for sins repeated

And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you hide
And for all the fears you had to keep inside

I am the way, I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams
And in the dark, I hear your screams

Don't walk away, just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there, I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is believe

I never wanted to know, never wanted to see
I wasted my time till time wasted me
I never wanted to go, I always wanted to stay
'Cause the persons I am are the parts that I play

So, I plot and I plan and I hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight to a world gone astray
As they charge me for years, I can no longer pay

I am the way, I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams
And in the dark, I hear your screams

Don't turn away, just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there, I'll never leave
And all I ask of you, believe
