There's a certain consequence to the fear of breaking down
There's a subtle difference I've never figured out
They say it's a new beginning, I say it's a lie
So I settle for a different ending each and every time

But I've noticed the pressure's getting thick
The walls around are closing in quick on me
I say believe
And take one for the team
I always hoped that you would be the first to trust in me

The faded photograph that I tried to forget
A million memories spin circles in my head
We've failed a thousand times but still you ask me why
We can't convince the world that black is white

I try, I tried to understand where things went wrong
But I, I can't see through the fog
I say believe
And take one for the team
I always hope that you would be the first to trust in me
