Believer Lyrics

I would have been in doubt
when this started out
that everything would turn out this way.
First it was a phone call,
then it was another,
from a mother who was ready to play.
She said things that no one ever told me before,
but how could I have known
that she wanted to settle a score?

Then a man came in,
I can finally see it
and it looks like you're having fun,
but when I get back
you're gonna be bleeding,
so I think, son, you better run.
Now I think I should be leaving
'cause it looks like I've had enough.
She was a deceiver, but I had to believe her
when she told me she was in love.

I knew I could fix it
in just another minute,
but I guess it was a minute too late.
I knew he was coming
and I should have been running;
If he caught me, I would never escape.
Now, I know it never should have been a surprise,
but how could I have known
that she was only telling me lies?

'Cause a man came in,
I thought you were leaving,
but I see you're still having fun.
Now I'm back and you're gonna be bleeding,
so I think, son, you better run.
Now I think I should be leaving
'cause it looks like I've done enough.
She was a deceiver, but I had to believe her
when she told me she was in love.

Don't blame me!
It's not my fault.
Don't blame me!
I'm not the one.

'Cause a man came in,
I thought you were leaving,
but I see you're still having fun.
Now I'm back and you're gonna be bleeding,
so I think, son, you better run.
Now I think I should be leaving
'cause it looks like I've done enough.
She was a deceiver, but I had to believe her
when she told me she was in love.
She told me she was in love.

Great song!

It's basically "Wake Up Call" by Maroon 5, post-grunge style
