FLETCHER - I Believe You

This song seems as if I’m singing about a random little girl, but really, that little girl is myself. Growing up, I always worried about everything I couldn’t control and had a very serious fear of the unknown. To this day, I’m still trying to figure out why my brain was wired that way, because no kid should put as much pressure on themselves as I put on myself to fix not only my own problems but everyone else’s. This song is almost as if I’m singing to my younger self and warning those around her to help her then considering how much those fears have grown now. I can’t remember what it was like to not be so incredibly hard on myself, and it saddens me to think that at such a young age I made my life so difficult. I wish I could hold my younger self and tell her everything is going to be okay even though her thoughts made her believe otherwise.

Lyrics:
{VERSE}
Little girl dancing real slow in the kitchen
Wondering if she could remember existing
Before her troubled mind
Controlled all she could find

Sometimes her vision gets fogged up with what if’s
Shot in the dark, hide her heart from emotions
Trying to face the sun
And she will cycle on

{PRE CHORUS}
How is the mind in control of the heart?
She could ask herself a million times
How is the heart where the hatred starts?
She could see but wished her eyes were blind

{CHORUS}
Hold her
She’s slipping, and drowning
She’s breathing
But breaths could be deeper
She’s empty, looking for safety
And asking to hold her
She’s slipping, and drowning
She’s breathing
But breaths could be deeper
She’s empty, looking for safety

{VERSE}
Little girl painting a world only she knows
Wondering if after dark there could be heroes
Block out the scary thoughts
Protect her only heart

Sometimes she misses the light through her window
What if this mindset is all only what she knows
Maybe it shines for her
When she can claim her worth

{PRE CHORUS}
How is the mind in control of the heart?
She could ask herself a million times
How is the heart where the hatred starts?
She could see but wished her eyes were blind

{CHORUS}
Hold her
She’s slipping, and drowning
She’s breathing
But breaths could be deeper
She’s empty, looking for safety
And asking to hold her
She’s slipping, and drowning
She’s breathing
But breaths could be deeper
She’s empty, looking for safety

{BRIDGE}
She’s got time
Its just a ride
Not the first
To stand in line
Not the last to stumble asking why

She’ll be strong 
There’s nothing wrong 
Fear is just a way to solve 
Holding back where her heart belongs

{CHORUS}
Hold her
She’s slipping, and drowning
She’s breathing
But breaths could be deeper
She’s empty, looking for safety
And asking to hold her
She’s slipping, and drowning
She’s breathing
But breaths could be deeper
She’s empty, looking for safety
