Believe
Cher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one, oh

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no

What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you?
Well I can't do that
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need a love to feel strong
'Cause I've had time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you, oh

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no

Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
No I don't need you anymore

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no

The chorus, which asks the question "Do you believe in life after love?" is a powerful reflection on the pain of heartbreak and the hope that one day, the person can move on and find love again.


The first verse talks about the frustration of not being able to communicate with the person who is leaving her. She has tried but they keep pushing her away. She is also acknowledging that it takes time to come to terms with the breakup and accept that he is gone. Despite the sadness she feels inside, the chorus repeats the question, "Do you believe in life after love?" as if to remind herself that she can and will move on.

When I was a kid my mom played this song on repeat all the time. This song brings me back. My mom passed away last year so here I am. The song makes me happy.

Believe that your mother is always with you in a spiritual vibration no matter the dimension you are

@Jeremy_936

In that space between waking and sleeping, after the alarm goes of and you hit the snooze button, try to wake up enough (but not too much) to speak with her. You'll hear her speaking back to you, and most likely she'll be telling you what you need to hear from her, because from her perspective she knows your thoughts. Sending love brother.
