Lyrics
1. If you leave me, that wouldn't break my heart,
You broke it right from the start.
If you leave me, that wouldn't hurt my pride,
It's buried so deep inside.
I gave up on living a long time ago -
Didn't you know? Doesn't it show?
Refrain. I believed in you with all of me, you couldn't see that
I believed in you in everything you do,
I believed in you.
2. If you leave me, that wouldn't bring me down,
You put me right on the ground.
If you leave me, that wouldn't make me cry,
I can take one goodbye.
I gave up on living a long time ago -
Didn't you know? Doesn't it show?
Refrain. I believed in you with all of me, you couldn't see that
I believed in you in everything you do,
I believed in you.
Refrain. I believed in you with all of me, you couldn't see that
I believed in you in everything you do,
I believed in you.
