Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now you say I must be out my mind
But I can't help but see love is blind
Open your eyes, take your advice
Still got time left to walk away
In hindsight, I realize
But if you ask me today what made me stay, I'd say that
[Chorus]
I wanted to believe
I wanted us to make it, baby
I wanted to believe
I was looking forward, baby
Everything you said in every way
**** what people say
Is this real?
Can you make me believe in love?
[Verse 2]
I was in love with her (Yeah)
You was in love with him (Yeah)
Thought I was and we **** up and cheated on both of them
The beginning of the end of love for us
Listen
I been trying, I been dying
I been buying ever since
Nothing ever come with ease
This feeling inside of me
Got a **** on his knees all because he wanted to believe in
[Chorus]
I wanted to believe (Oh)
I wanted us to make it, baby
I wanted to believe (Yeah)
I was looking forward, baby
Everything you said in every way
**** what people say
Is this real? (Is this real?)
Can you make me believe in love?
[Verse 3]
I was in mode, I was like, "Hold on, **** what people say," uh
We was on road, so I was like, "No, she would never act this way," uh
I was like, "Yeah," she was like, "Go!"
I was like, "Tell me, which way?"
Blinded by the thought and prayed on
And now I regret this every day (One)
[Verse 4]
We been headed down the wrong path (Phase 2)
Everybody predicted that this **** wasn't gon' last
They knew, and I did too
I was so determined to pull this through
I was so determined to win with you
I was so addicted to fix this ****
I had to prove
[Chorus]
I wanted to believe
I wanted us to make it, baby
I wanted to believe
I was looking forward, baby
Everything you said in every way
**** what people say
Is this real?
Can you make me believe in love?
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Believe in love
**** what people say
Can you make me believe in love? (Oh, baby)
Whoa
(This is real) You do it for love
(Ooh, believe) You do it for trust, yeah
