I’d Rather Believe in You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got another phone call
Someone wants to help
It's time I learned the truth, they said
About the lies you tell
No, it's hard to hide the fear
What I've heard is true
I'd rather trust the memories
The years of loving you

[Chorus]
Oh, yeah (Yes), yes (Yes)
I'd rather believe in you
Yes (Yes), yes (Yes)
I'd rather believe in you
I know we've had our share of troubles
Long within the past
Still I know
I'd rather believe, rather believe in you

[Verse 2]
No papers here to bind you
Only love to make you stay
The stories never latch
To either one anyway
Regardless of the many stories
I heard of things you do
Until you show me differently
I'd rather believe in you
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah (Yes), yes (Yes)
I'd rather believe in you
Yes (Yes), yes (Yes)
I'd rather believe in you
I know we've had our share of troubles
Long within the past
Still I know
I'd rather believe, rather believe in you

[Bridge]
No, no, no
I don't wanna hear anymore
Oh, don't you know
That I've heard it all before?

[Chorus]
Yes (Yes), yes (Yes)
I'd rather believe in you
Yes (Yes), yes (Yes)
I'd rather believe in you
I know we've had our share of troubles
Long within the past
Still I know
I'd rather believe, rather believe in you
[Outro]
Yes (Yes), yes (Yes)
I'd rather believe in you
Yes (Yes), yes (Yes)
I'd rather believe in you
Yes (Yes), yes (Yes)
I'd rather believe in you
Yes (Yes), yes (Yes)
I'd rather believe in you
Yes (Yes), yes (Yes)
I'd rather believe in you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
