Believe Me

Song byEllie Goulding

in AlbumLights

Listen, I can hear a voice,

I need a helping hand,

just to beat the void.

I need a mission,

a dream to stop me talking to myself

and now the silence is broken,

and my soul is to sell

I need to pick up the peices

to scatter to the wind

Hold the city to your ears

you can hear the wind come in

But you change the world with a

sond and you can't make it right when it's

wrong

I can't stop this music travelling round with

me wherever I go, it's playing for you.

I can't stop this voice unravelling round

me whatever I do. It's talking to you

The world dances to the rhythm of its own

heart beating for you, however you lose

So speak to me - believe me.

Don't let it slip, through your fingertips.

When there's a ghost,

don't try to reason with it

Because now I'm tired, I'm weird,

so I won't miss a think.

I rope my words out to dry

and I've forgotted what to sing

But you can't change the world

with a song and you can't make it right

when it's wrong

If that's what it was to you,

then that's what it was to me.
