Hope
Pete Wylie and the Mighty WAH! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't understand a thing or two
But now I see with my own two eyes
The problem was all right down to you
Now I wake up every day,
Think about things you said
When you used to love me
But everytime I think about
Where you are now
I start to take offense
'Cos you lied to me
I wish you'd believe me
I wish you'd believe me
Remember the time in the park?
Remember the time after dark?
I wish you'd believe me
Believe me
When you left me
I didn't try to push too hard
Until you tried to tell me
It's not easy
Why didn't you make it look hard?
When I hope
Yes I hope
You don't say it's alright be strong
'Cos I can't see it any other way
Now I know it's wrong
'Cos you lied to me
I wish you'd believe me
I wish you'd believe me
Remember the time in the park?
Remember the time after dark?
I wish you'd believe me
Believe me
Some things that are left unsaid
Give it to me
I'll get into your head
One day I'll take these things
And throw them all away
'Cos I hope
Yes I hope
You don't say
It's alright I'll mend
Stop talking to me
Or don't tell me
How everything will be in the end
You lied to me
I wish you'd believe me
I wish you'd believe me
Remember the time in the park?
Remember the time after dark?
I wish you'd believe me
Believe me

When I woke up yesterday
After my slumber yesterday morning
Didn't understand a thing or two
I was confused and uncertain
But now I see with my own two eyes
But now I understand the truth about something, based on what I have seen
The problem was all right down to you
And I have realized that the issue was actually caused by you
Now I wake up every day,
Nowadays I awaken each and every morning
Think about things you said
Remember things you said
When you used to love me
Back when you were fond of me
It made sense
What you said had logical significance
But everytime I think about
But each instance I consider
Where you are now
Your current location and circumstance
I start to take offense
It begins to insult me
'Cos you lied to me
Because you deceived me
I wish you'd believe me
I desire for you to trust me
Remember the time in the park?
Can you recall the past occasion in the park?
Remember the time after dark?
Can you recollect the time after nightfall?
I wish you'd believe me
I yearn that you will have faith in what I say
When you left me
After you departed from me
I didn't try to push too hard
I did not attempt to force anything
Until you tried to tell me
That is until you endeavored to inform me
It's not easy
It is difficult
Why didn't you make it look hard?
So why did you make it seem easy then?
When I hope
When I am optimistic
Yes I hope
I am optimistic
You don't say it's alright be strong
Please do not give me insincere encouragement
'Cos I can't see it any other way
Because I can not perceive a different approach
Now I know it's wrong
I now realize it is incorrect
Some things that are left unsaid
There are things that are better left unspoken
Give it to me
Tell it to me
I'll get into your head
I will comprehend your thoughts
One day I'll take these things
In the future, I will take those thoughts
And throw them all away
And discard them completely
'Cos I hope
I have faith
Yes I hope
I remain optimistic
You don't say it's alright I'll mend
Please do not give me false hope that we will fix things
Stop talking to me
Quit conversing with me
Or don't tell me
Or at least don't inform me
How everything will be in the end
How everything is going to turn out in the finale
I wish you'd believe me
I desire for you to have faith in my words
Remember the time in the park?
Recall the occasion at the park?
Remember the time after dark?
Recall the event after sunset?
I wish you'd believe me
I ache for you to trust me
