Non Believer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We both know that you wanna love her
Skies are open crying, please don't believe her
'Cause she'll tell you lies and then say it doesn't matter
And you're pleased to see her calling them non-believers

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But maybe she loves you and I'm just a preacher
Those burning skies and all who don't believe her
Non-believers, no
Don't believe her, no


[Chorus]
All that we are, all that we need
They're different things
Oh, maybe what we are and what we need
They're different things


[Verse 2]
Do you realise again, you chased an idea
Heels and earth behind some broken creature

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Maybe she loves you and I'm just a preacher
Non-believers crying "don't believe her"
Don't believe her, no
Don't believe her, no
[Chorus]
All that we are, all that we need
They're different things
Oh, maybe what we are and what we need
They're different things

[Bridge]
Give you my all and you're taking my everything

[Chorus]
All that we are, all that we need
They're different things
Oh, maybe what we are and what we need
They're different things

All that we are, all that we need
They're different things
Oh, maybe what we are and what we need
They're different things

[Outro]
All that we are, that we need
All what we are, what we need

Genius Answer

LG’s Hannah Reid described the meaning of the song in an interview for website The Skinny:

I’m quite interested in psychology and what makes human beings tick. What you are and what you need are genuinely two different things. You might find yourself in a scenario repeatedly and wonder why. Learning what you actually need to do to break those cycles can be very, very hard.
