Seeing Is Believing
Lizzie Sider Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna ask, I really wanna know, 'cause they gotta be all wrong
I know he loves me
He says he loves me
He would never lie to me
You never know till you see it
Don't believe it
You heard the whispers, heard the rumors
Nothing hits you like the truth
There he is with her tonight
Seein' is believin'
Seein' is believin'
I wanna run away, I wanna cry, I wanna scream
Until the stars fall from the sky
I wish that it would go away
I wish that it was yesterday
Or I could close my eyes
He's holding her
She's kissing him
Can't let them see me cry
It's like a slap in the face
It's like I've been erased
It's like it never meant nothin' at all
It's like a slap in the face
It's like I've been erased
It's like it never meant nothin' at all
The lyrics to Lizzie Sider's song "Seeing Is Believing" describe the feeling of overwhelming betrayal and heartbreak when someone you love cheats on you. The singer describes the feelings of confusion and denial that come with hearing rumors of your partner's infidelity. They desperately want to believe that their partner loves them as much as they claim, but in reality, there is evidence to suggest that they are lying. When the singer finally sees their partner with the other person, it's like a slap in the face - a realization that everything they thought they knew was a lie. The singer wants to run away and cry, but also knows they can't let their emotions show in front of the people involved. It's a devastating experience that feels like an erasure of everything that was once meaningful.
This song speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and betrayal. Seeing someone you love cheat on you can make you question everything you believed to be true. It's a feeling of confusion, denial, betrayal, and heartbreak all rolled into one. The lyrics do a great job of capturing the emotional rollercoaster of the experience. Just like the song says, "seeing is believing" - sometimes you need concrete proof of something to truly understand it.
