A father can give you his words
But words are just symbols for things
And after he's gone
That's when you learn to sing
A mother can give you her breast
But soon that's all she'll bring
And when she's left
That's when you learn to sing
People live this life
I know we lie and deceive
It's not that I'm blind
I just want to believe
And when your love grabs your arm
And whispers the sweetest of lies
And all those around you, they wonder
How can you've been surprised
It's written in her eyes
That hope is a dangerous thing
Nightingale
You stagger and fail
Is that how you've learned how to sing
People live this life
I know you lie and deceive
I'm not so blind
I just wanted
People live the world
I know you hurt and deceive
I'm not so blind
I just wanted
And I want, and I want
To believe
And I want to believe
And I want to believe
And I want to believe
And I want to believe
And I want to believe
And I want to believe
And I want to believe
And I just wanted
