I'd like to believe the promises
You've perfected how to paint.
I'd like to kiss without regret,
And fall without restraint.
I'd like to wonder with a voice
Instead of silent thought.
I'd like to find out what you are
Instead of what you're not.

I'd like to believe the words you sing.
The lines that sound so sweet.
I'd like to feel the chorus end.
Instead of just repeat.
I'd like to miss you without hurt,
And dream with eyes to see,
I'd like to love you with this hope,
And know that you love me.

But promises are broken down,
And belief can be stretched out,
Happiness replaced with pain
And dreams filled up with doubt.
So make the weakness disappear;
Make me believe you feel.
Make the faith mean everything
And make this passion real.
