I Don't Believe It - Rachael Sage

Calm is a feeling I learned to never want more

Calm is a toy I was taught to leave on the floor

Calm was a feeling you said would just break my heart

Calm was a feeling you said was bad for my art

And every time that you told me I’m not good enough

I can’t believe I could ever have felt so rough

Every time that you tell me I’m not good enough I don’t believe it

Every time that you told me I’m not gonna win

I can’t believe I could ever have been sucked in

Every time that you tell me I’m not gonna win I don’t believe it… anymore

Peace is a feeling I learned was pie in the sky

Peace is a feeling I learned to never ask why

Hope is a toy I was taught to leave on the ground

Hope is a dream I was taught to not make a sound

And every time that you told me I’m not good enough

I can’t believe I could ever have felt so rough

Every time that you tell me I’m not good enough I don’t believe it

Every time that you told me I’m not gonna win

I can’t believe I could ever have been sucked in

Every time that you tell me I’m not gonna win I don’t believe it… anymore

Gimme something beautiful to believe in

Gimme something elastic I can breathe in

And every time that you told me I’m not good enough

I can’t believe I could ever have felt so rough

Every time that you tell me I’m not good enough I don’t believe it

Every time that you told me I’m not gonna win

I can’t believe I could ever have been sucked in

Every time that you tell me I’m not gonna win I don’t believe it… anymore

I know you never meant to hurt me, I know you only wanted to give me

The tools you believed I needed to learn to fly

I know you never meant to hurt me, I know you only wanted to give me

The tools you believed I needed to be a butterfly
