I Believe

I believe I could be
Better than I used to be
Until then I just wont stop
Eventually you will see
I don't give up so easily

Easy does it now
Times come I take a vow
To the end, I will hold true
Provided, I've been here before
And lied 'cuz this same oath I swore
But man, I'm just a man, just like you.
Don't you see I've recognized the error of my ways
I've apologized for everything

Now I've taken advantage and I've taken for granted
But some truths I still work to hide
Thought I know the evidence
Will show I've left my finger prints
When ignorance and innocence collide
Don't you see I've recognized the error of my ways
Its too late to apologize for everything but...

I believe I can be, better than I used to be
Until then I just wont stop
Eventually you will see,
I won't give up so easily
I believe.

You see I carry the weight upon my back on my mistakes
Sometimes I struggle just to learn to let 'em go
To know whats done is done, but I can change what is to come
If I believe in me enough to make it so
I know that the road to redemption is never an easy one
I know I will make it, just as long as...

Its hard to know if our control is gone
'Cuz I've been watching everything going on
I've been just staring at the paper thinking all this is wrong
It's hard to tell if its too late for a change
I've been around enough to know what I'm sayin'
I've seen it go from black to white
And still its always the same
