Gus Dapperton - Believe

Copied!

{Verse 1}
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushin' me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talkin' to you
It's so sad that you're leavin'
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one, oh

{Chorus}
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel somethin' inside me say
"I really don't think you're strong enough, no"
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
"I really don't think you'rе strong enough, no"

{Verse 2}
What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you?
Well, I can't do that
And thеre's no turnin' back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
'Cause I've had time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you, oh

{Chorus}
Do you believe in life after love? (After love, after love, after love)
I can feel somethin' inside me say
"I really don't think you're strong enough, no"
Do you believe in life after love? (After love, after love, after love)
I can feel somethin' inside me say
"I really don't think you're strong enough, no"

{Bridge}
Well, I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
And I don't need you anymore
Oh, I don't need you anymore
Oh, I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore

{Chorus}
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel somethin' inside me say
"I really don't think you're strong enough, no"
Do you believe in life after love? (After love, after love, after love)
I can feel somethin' inside me say
"I really don't think you're strong enough, no"

{Outro}
After love, after love, after love, after love
After love, after love, after love, after love
After love, after love, after love, after love
After love, after love, after love, after love
