Believe In Me
Lenny Kravitz (wapos.ru) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could ever say it right
And reach your hostage heart despite
The doubts you harbor then you might
Come to believe in me

The life I lead is not the kind
That gives a woman peace of mind
I only hope someday you'll find
That you can believe in me

Those other loves that came before
Mean nothing to me anymore
But you can never be quite sure
And will not believe in me

Too many hearts have been broken
Failing to trust what they feel
But trust isn't something that's spoken
And love's never wrong when it's real

If I could only do one thing
Then I would try to write and sing
A song that ends your questioning
And makes you believe in me





And makes you believe in me
Oh, you can believe in me

Overall, "Believe in Me" is a heartfelt plea for trust and understanding in a relationship, with Kravitz's powerful vocals and poignant lyrics driving home the emotional weight of the message.

If I could ever say it right
If my words could ever truly express my love and reach your guarded heart


And reach your hostage heart despite
And penetrate through all your worries and doubts about love


The doubts you harbor then you might
The doubts you hold in your heart, preventing you from committing to me


Come to believe in me
May disappear, and you can finally truly trust and fall in love with me


The life I lead is not the kind
My lifestyle doesn't typically provide or support a level of emotional security


That gives a woman peace of mind
That makes a woman feel emotionally comfortable and secure


I only hope someday you'll find
I hope one day something changes and you feel safe and confident with me


That you can believe in me
And trust that my love is real and genuine


Those other loves that came before
The previous people you loved and attempted to commit to


Mean nothing to me anymore
Do not mean anything to me or threaten our relationship


But you can never be quite sure
But I understand you've been hurt before and might not trust that my feelings are true


And will not believe in me
Therefore not believing in anything lasting with me


Too many hearts have been broken
Too many people have been emotionally hurt by not trusting their hearts and feelings


Failing to trust what they feel

And love's never wrong when it's real
When love is truly grounded in reality and sincerity, it will never steer you in the wrong direction


If I could only do one thing
If I could only achieve one goal or accomplish one thing


Then I would try to write and sing
It would be creating art to express my love and emotions to get you to feel the same way


A song that ends your questioning
A song that calms your fears and doubts, leaving no more questions about our relationship

"Believe In Me"

[Verse 1]
Where's the love we had?
When did it go bad?
Or am I just insecure?
I give all I can
Baby I'm your man
Tell me what you're in this for
Remind me

[Chorus]
I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as If I'm through
Please believe in me
'Cause what I need is for you
To believe in me

[Verse 2]
Countless sleepless nights
Never ending fights
I'm trying to make your dreams come true
I will sacrifice to find paradise
But I need to know that you're behind me

[Chorus][x3]
I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as If I'm through
Please believe in me
'Cause what I need is for you
To believe in me

I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as If I'm through
Please believe in me
'Cause what I need is for you
To believe in me

I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as If I'm through
Please believe in me
'Cause what I need is for you
To believe in me

To believe in me
To believe in me
To believe in me

I met Lenny in Brazil. My two friends and I were driving along the coastal road and our car broke down right outside the entrance gate of this beautiful huge farm like castle ranch. We sat waiting for help, the gate opens and out comes Lenny with his three dogs. At first I thought it was just a lookalike but then he came and chatted with us. He was so cool, friendly and his Portuguese was excellent. So he called one of his staff to come and assist us. I will never forget that day. I told him this was my absolute fav song of his and he agree and said he loves it too. He's not only an amazing singer but he's the coolest dude ever. Zoe is so lucky to call him dad. 😊🥰😍
