Believe Me
♫ Ellie Goulding Lyrics

Listen
Pay attention and listen closely.

I can hear a voice
I hear a voice inside my head that is calling out to me.

I need a helping hand
I require assistance to overcome my problems.

Just to beat the void
To fill the emptiness that I feel inside.

I need a mission
I require a purpose or a goal to strive towards.

A dream to stop me talking to myself
I need a vision or a dream to prevent me from feeling lonely and lost.

And now the silence is broken
The quietness is now gone and I can hear something.

And my soul is to sell
I'm willing to give up part of myself for what I desire.

I need to pick up the pieces
I need to recover from a difficult situation or an emotional breakdown.

To scatter to the wind
To let go of my past struggles and move forward.

Hold the city to your ears
Pay attention to the surroundings and listen closely.

You can hear the wind come in
The wind is blowing and the it's coming from far away.

But you can't change the world with a song
Music is powerful, but it can't fix everything on its own.

And you can't make it right when it's wrong
It's impossible to rectify something that has already gone wrong.

I can't stop this music traveling round with me wherever I go
Music is always with me no matter where I am.

It's playing for you
This music is meant for you to listen to.

I can't stop the voice unraveling round me whatever I do
The voice in my head won't leave me alone and is always present in everything I do.

It's talking to you
The voice in my head wants to communicate with you as well.

The world dances to the rhythm of its own
The world moves to its own beat and follows its own rules.

Heart beating for you, however you lose
The world may not always be kind, but it still has a heart that beats for you.

So speak to me
Share your thoughts and ideas with me.

Believe, believe, believe me
Trust in me and what I am saying.

Don't let it slip, through your fingertips
Don't let go of something that is meaningful and valuable to you.

When there's a ghost
When you feel like something is haunting you or your past is holding you back.

Don't try to reason with it
Don't try to make sense of something that may not be logical or rational.

Because now I'm tired
Because I'm exhausted and worn out from trying to keep up.

I'm wired
I'm overstimulated and overwhelmed.

So I won't miss a thing
I'll be hyper-aware of everything that's happening around me.

I rope my words out to dry
I have difficulty expressing myself and putting my thoughts into words.

And I've forgotten what to sing
I can't find the right words or the right melody for this moment.

If that's what it was to you, Then that's what it was to me.
Different people can perceive situations differently, and that's okay.

Believe, believe, believe me.
Trust me and what I'm saying is true.
