"Still I Believe"
i once believed that the face of love would be
so clear to see -- one kiss conceives
giving birth to endless joy- thatʼs what i believed
but iʼve been slapped out my trance
from this bliss of ignorance
while the stench of disappointment i would breathe
iʼve played the roles brilliantly
the villain, the victim and in between
pushed the limit of my strength and sanity
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
your eyes your eyes given half a chance
could slice my heart in two (in two)
oh iʼve tried (iʼve tri----ied) at least a half a dozen times
probably the same for you (for you)
iʼve been the angel, been the beast
iʼve been confused and had clarity
i went the distance only to find
there was nothing there (nothing there)
take your hearts place your bets
on this game of russian roulette
if you lose they wonʼt remember or even care
(oh well)
but still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
still i believe ( oh oh ) in love
yes i do---ooo
though i walk thru the valley i donʼt fear you
iʼll never stop believing though i hear you (hear you)
i know youʼre looking but youʼll never find me (find me)
when ever i smile--you are grieving (grieving)
when ever loves around me you are leaving
(youʼre leaving-----g)
shut the hell up now and get behind me
shut the hell up and get behind me
