You Don't Believe In Me

[Verse 1]
You say it's nothing
But your questions dig in deep
Little looks
Little pauses
Like you're waiting for me to slip
You keep your plans in your pocket
Like they're too heavy for my hands
Every time I offer to hold them
You just change the subject again
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you hear yourself when you talk to me
Like I'm fragile glass
Like I might just break
Every doubt you drop on my heart
Baby
Leaves another line across my face
[Chorus]
It hurts when you don't believe in me
When you tell me what you want
Then pull it back and say I'm weak
You say it's love but you don't trust me
You want so much
Then you look and you freeze
Yeah
It hurts
It hurts when you don't believe
Don't believe in me
[Verse 2]
You plan a future
But I never get a key
You build the dream in your notebook
Lock the door
Hide it from me
You say it's just that you're careful
But it feels like I'm on trial
Every promise that I make you
You just measure
Then deny
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you see my hands
How they held you up
Through every late night
Every hard day
How can you still think I'm not enough
When I'm the one who always stays
[Chorus]
It hurts when you don't believe in me
When you tell me what you want
Then pull it back and say I'm weak
You say it's love but you don't trust me
You want so much
Then you look and you freeze
Yeah
It hurts
It hurts when you don't believe
Don't believe in me
[Bridge]
What do you need to finally see me
Blood
Sweat
Tears
'til I'm empty
I've been standing right beside you
Why you act like I'm against you
If you want that life we're chasing
Put your faith where your mouth is
Baby
'Cause I can't carry all this weight
And your doubt at the same time (oh)
[Chorus]
It hurts when you don't believe in me
When you tell me what you want
Then pull it back and call me weak
You say it's love but you don't trust me
You want so much
Then you look and you freeze
Yeah
It hurts
It hurts when you don't believe
Don't believe in me
[Outro]
You say it's nothing
But it's breaking me
Say you love me
Then you don't believe
(It hurts, it hurts)
When you don't believe in me
