Believe it or not
My heart does bleed
Believe it or not
I don’t like to lead
Believe it or not
I‘m not with out need

Believe it or not
I cry when my heart is breaking
Believe it or not
I worry about courses I’m taking
Believe it or not
I wonder about choices I’m making

Believe it or not
I’m really quite shy
Believe it or not
I don’t often lie
Believe it or not
I’m not afraid to try

Believe it or not
I’m not as cold as I seem
Believe it or not
I often live in a dream
Believe it or not
I can work well in a team

Believe it or not
I know what is said behind my back
Believe it or not
My smile is usually an act
Believe it or not
I won’t be held down and that’s a fact
