Believer

American Authors · Oh, What A Life [2014]

I'm just a believer

That things will get better

Some can take it or leave it

But I don't wanna let it go

[x2]



I'm a little bit sheltered

I'm a little bit scared

I'm a little bit nervous

I'm goin' no where



I'm a little bit jealous

I'm a little bit slow

I'm a little bit hurtful

And I don't wanna let it go



No,

And I don't wanna let it go



I'm a little bit angry

When every one's around

But I get a little lonely

When no one's out



I feel my demons

Misleadin' me



I'm just a believer

That things will get better

Some can take it or leave it

But I don't wanna let it go

[x2]



Maybe when I get older

And I'm in the ground

The weight's off my shoulders

It was bringin' me down



I've never been that lucky

I've never tasted fame

I'm always lookin' for something

But I hate changin'



Time fades

There's no space

As life breaks new ground



I'm just a believer

That things will get better

Some can take it or leave it

But I don't wanna let it go

[x2]



It doesn't matter what is out there

My head is spinning and it won't bail out

It doesn't matter what is out there



Cause time fades

There's no space

As life breaks new ground



I'm just a believer

That things will get better

Some can take it or leave it

But I don't wanna let it go

[x3]
