I Don’t Believe It

[Verse 1]
Calm is a feeling I learned to never want more
Calm is a toy I was taught to leave on the floor
Calm was a feeling you said would just break my heart
Calm was a feeling you said was bad for my art

[Chorus]
And every time that you told me I’m not good enough
I can’t believe I could ever have felt so rough
Every time that you tell me I’m not good enough I don’t believe it
Every time that you told me I’m not gonna win
I can’t believe I could ever have been sucked in
Every time that you tell me I’m not gonna win I don’t believe it…anymore

[Verse 2]
Peace is a feeling I learned was pie in the sky
Peace is a feeling I learned to never ask why
Hope is a toy I was taught to leave on the ground
Hope is a dream I was taught to not make a sound

[Chorus]
And every time that you told me I’m not good enough
I can’t believe I could ever have felt so rough
Every time that you tell me I’m not good enough I don’t believe it
Every time that you told me I’m not gonna win
I can’t believe I could ever have been sucked in
Every time that you tell me I’m not gonna win I don’t believe it…anymore

[Bridge]
Gimme something beautiful to believe in
Gimme something elastic I can breathe in

[Chorus]
And every time that you told me I’m not good enough
I can’t believe I could ever have felt so rough
Every time that you tell me I’m not good enough I don’t believe it
Every time that you told me I’m not gonna win
I can’t believe I could ever have been sucked in
Every time that you tell me I’m not gonna win I don’t believe it…anymore

[Outro]
I know you never meant to hurt me, I know you only wanted to give me
The tools you believed I needed to learn to fly
I know you never meant to hurt me, I know you only wanted to give me
The tools you believed I needed to be a butterfly
