Believe Me
Roland Faunte Lyrics

Excuse me
Apologizing for the request of having someone believe them

I need you to believe me
In need of someone else's belief to confirm and validate their own feelings

In order to convince myself
Their own belief in their feelings is not enough and needs someone else to confirm it

I need to convince someone else
To gain more confidence in their own feelings, they need to have someone else on their side

It's a matter of my safety
Believing in their feelings is important for their own mental and emotional wellbeing

You can tell me that I'm crazy just
They are willing to accept that their feelings may seem crazy to others

Don't tell me it's not real
They need others to understand that their feelings are real even if they seem unbelievable

Would you lend me your opinion
Requesting someone else's perspective on their feelings

There's nothing wrong as far as I can tell
They don't see anything wrong with their feelings or why they are feeling that way

How's it possible this feels like hell?
They question why they are feeling so much pain without any explanation

I'm not so certain that I'm worthy
Doubting their own ability to deserve help or validation for their feelings

Don't mean to ask for help I don't deserve
They feel guilty for asking for help due to their belief that they don't deserve it

So many people have it worse
Comparing their own problems to others and belittling their own struggles

Have run out of things to try
They feel like they have tried everything to feel better or understand their feelings

When I say how I've been feeling
Sharing their emotions and struggles with others

I see the doubt in people's eyes
Noticing how others don't believe or understand their emotions

Feels a thousand times more dangerous
The pain is magnified when they are unable to explain or understand it

When I can't say for certain
It's difficult for them to identify the exact cause of their pain or feelings

Why exactly I am hurting
Questioning the root or cause of their pain or emotions

I need you believe me
Stating the importance of someone believing in them to lessen their pain and struggles

You might not think it's real
Acknowledging that others may not believe or understand their pain

But this can't be how I'm supposed to feel
They believe their pain and emotions are not what is meant for them in life

I owe my thanks
Grateful for those who have believed in them

To the people that believed me
Those who have confirmed and validated their feelings

I can't prove the things I feel
They understand that their emotions can't be logically explained or proven

But they still trusted they were real
Thankful that others believed in their emotions even if they were unable to prove them

It was so soothing
Their emotional burden was lightened by the support of others

To find out I'm not a loser
They feel less inadequate with the knowledge that others believe in their emotions

I have a weight that no one else can see
They have been struggling with a burden that is not visible to others

Won't compare myself to healthy people
They won't measure their situations or emotions against those who are healthy or better off

I keep healing
They believe they are progressing towards healing and feeling better

As I say what I've been feeling
Sharing their emotions and struggles continues to help them heal

Stop saying we all feel that way
Asking others to not normalize or discredit their struggles

When you've never thought you might not stay
Others who have not struggled with emotional pain cannot understand the gravity of the situation

It's not weakness
Stating that asking for help or sharing emotions is not a sign of weakness

To start spilling out your secrets
Encouraging others to start sharing their emotions and secrets to feel better

And start telling people I need help
Taking the step to ask for help is important for healing

I no longer cannot hurt myself
Sharing emotions helps to avoid causing oneself harm or pain

It's not strong to
Suppressing emotions or pretending everything is okay is not a sign of strength

Just pretend there's nothing wrong you
Acting like everything is okay when it's not is not healthy

Will be the hero in your story when
Taking charge of one's own emotions and asking for help can make one stronger

You start letting other people in
Allowing others to be part of one's struggles can result in healing

I think it's brave
Sharing emotions or asking for help is a brave act

I think that lives just might be saved
Sharing struggles can result in saving or helping other's lives as well

When people talk about their pain out loud
Talking about one's pain can result in healing and helping others

No more things that we don't talk about
Encouraging people to talk about and normalize previously unspoken topics

Though in the end
Even though they must deal with their own burden themselves

All my burdens are my own
They understand that they must deal with their own issues on their own

I can feel them getting lighter when
Sharing their emotions and struggles can make the burden feel lighter

I talk about them with my friends
Talking and sharing emotions and struggles with friends can result in healing

To conquer silent pain
Taking action to heal inner emotional pain

You gotta look it in the eye
One must confront emotional pain head on to overcome it

And call it by its name
Giving a name to emotional pain can result in feeling more in control of it
