Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie, say it will be alright
And I shall believe
I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home when I'm so all alone
But I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe
Open the door
And show me your face tonight
And I know it's true, no one heals me like you
And you hold the key
Never again
Would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight, but your love is alright
And I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe
And I shall believe
That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe

Please say honestly
You won't give up on me

Over in the page for Sheryl's song, "Abilene," I posted the following about a possible Abilene-I Shall Believe connection, and I'm gonna repost it here...
I think this song is about being someone's shoulder-to-cry-on, their supporter no matter what. (But until you turn to me and say/You don't need anyone to carry the weight, I will stay.) Sheryl has said that when she first traveled to L.A., she battled often with severe depression. I think this song might be inspired by her parents' perspective toward her at that time (When you gonna make up your mind/When you gonna get out of bed) She has said that they spent lots of time on the phone with her trying to help her out of her rut. I also think it's interesting that this song kind of seems like a response to, or the opposite of, "I Shall Believe," which is kind of a sad-and-longing song looking for help and support. Both great, great tunes.
