I Believe in Love
Embracing Differences: Belief in Love's Resilience
Lyrics
When we tried to rework all of this
Attempting to rework the situation
Each to her rendition
Each person's interpretation or version
Painted ourselves in a corner
Feeling trapped or limited
Lost for ideas blindly fishing
Struggling for ideas, aimlessly searching
For a compliment or kindness
Seeking approval or kindness
Just to bring us into view
Efforts to gain attention or recognition
But you could not interpret me and I could not interpret you
Mutual misinterpretation and misunderstanding
I remember that cold morning when the trees were black with birds
Recalling a moment with nature and birds
I tried to make out some connection
Struggling to find a connection
We were at a loss for words
Speechless and unable to express
After all that we've been through
Reflecting on shared experiences
I could not see giving up
Commitment despite challenges
Despite the picture of our coffee growing colder in the cups
Acknowledging the cooling of emotions
I want to say that underneath it all you are my friend
Affirmation of friendship beneath surface differences
And the way that I fell for you I'll never fall that way again
Learning from past romantic experiences
I still believe despite our differences that what we have's enough
Belief in having enough despite disparities
And I believe in you and I believe in love
Overall belief in the person and love
So we went rolling on down through the years
Navigating through time together
Taking time off we could steal
Stealing moments of shared time
Until the thief of things unreconciled
Unexpected obstacles causing disruption
Stuck it's stick into the wheel
External challenges affecting the relationship
Now we're tumbling in a freefall
Facing a downward spiral without escape
No one's gonna go unscathed
No one remains unaffected in the fall
But it's not because you held back and its not how I behaved
Neither withholding nor behavior caused the fall
I want to say that underneath it all you are my friend
Reiteration of underlying friendship
And the way that I fell for you I'll never fall that way again
Learning from past romantic mistakes
I still believe despite our differences that what we have's enough
Belief in having enough despite differences
I believe in you and I believe in love
Confidence in both the person and love
There are avenues and supplements and books stacked on the shelf
Various resources and self-help attempts
Labyrinths of recovery in search of our best self
Searching for the best version of oneself
But most of what will happen now is way out of our hands
Acceptance of events beyond control
So just let it go and see where it lands
Letting go and allowing fate to unfold
I want to say that underneath it all you are my friend
Emphasis on enduring friendship
And the way that I fell for you I'll never fall that way again
Avoiding repeating past romantic mistakes
I still believe despite our differences that what we have's enough
Belief in having sufficient despite disparities
I believe in you and I believe in love
Confidence in both the person and love
I believe in you and I believe in love
Reiteration of belief in the person and love
