Make Me a Believer
Andy Mineo feat. Mac Powell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why is it so hard to love you?
Why is it so hard to love you?
You make it easy, but I make it hard
Oh my God
You take the blame when I don't deserve it, no, no
I break your heart, then I do it again, do it again
You give me patience when I keep you waitin'
I don't know why you call me your favorite

Are we for real or not? (tell me, tell me)
For real or not? (tell me, tell me)
Are we for real or not, I gotta know
(Tell me, tell me)

You're givin' me all you have
You saw me without my mask
But I can't change my past
So can you promise this gon' last?

Make me a believer
'Cause all I've ever seen is pain
Make me a believer
Promise me I'm not the same
Make me a believer

They tell me seein' is believin'
But all ever saw was the schemin'
All I ever saw was the people that I loved
They was gettin' up and leaving, throwin' peace signs
What's up, what's up, aye
What's up lately?
How did you love me?
You stayed when I went buggin', you stayed
It's messin' with my head now, it's messin' with my head
Why you haven't left now?
I still can't guess, tell me

Are we for real or not? (tell me, tell me)
For real or not? (tell me, tell me)
Are we for real or not, I gotta know
(Tell me, tell me)

You're givin' me all you have
You saw me without my mask
But I can't change my past
So can you promise this gon' last?

Make me a believer
'Cause all I've ever seen is pain
Make me a believer
Promise me I'm not the same
Make me a believer

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh




Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
