It's Okay To Believe
Katy Perry Lyrics

This was big for us
This experience or situation was important for us

Forever changing you and me
The experience changed both of us, and will continue to change us forever

Allow me to be ambiguous
I want to be unclear or vague about what I am saying

Though I can't stand ambiguity
Even though I don't like being unclear or vague

I'll beat around this burning bush
I will avoid talking about the difficult or painful topic

Trying to put the fire out
Attempting to deal with something that is causing emotional pain or conflict

When all the shoving came to push
When everything came to a head, and we couldn't avoid discussing the topic anymore

The words just stayed stuck in my mouth
I was unable to find the right words to express myself

'Cause it's okay to believe in something
It's acceptable to hold onto your beliefs, whatever they may be

It's alright to live your live for someone
It's acceptable to live for someone else, if that brings you happiness

So we might lose
We might not get what we want or succeed in our goals

But I'm glad I didn't leave
I'm glad I didn't give up or abandon the situation, even though it was difficult

I wear my soul on my shoes
I am transparent about who I am

If not my heart upon my sleeve
If not showing my emotions openly

If I'm not allowed to speak aloud
If I'm not given the freedom to express myself

Of what you really mean to me
Of how much you truly mean to me

Then'll type it bold when I spell it out
I will make it very clear and straightforward when I express myself

I T S L O V E
What I'm trying to spell out is 'love'

So why do I hesitate for my cocoon to break?
Why am I afraid to let myself grow or change?

Second guess every move that I make
Doubt myself and my decisions constantly

'Cause it's okay to believe in something
Again, it's perfectly fine to hold onto my beliefs

It's alright to live your live for someone
It's perfectly fine to live for someone else

Oh, somebody tell me
I need someone to give me reassurance or guidance

Stand up for what you believe in
Hold onto your beliefs and stand up for them, even if it's difficult

Take pride for who you are
Be proud of who you are, and don't apologize for it
