[Verse 1]
You always went through my phone
Like the truth was something unknown
You said you felt so alone
Even when I never left you on your own
I gave you all of my time
You still saw shadows in the light
How do you blame me for the fight
When it was your fear every single night?
[Pre-Chorus]
Trust ran deep but yours was a knife
It cut me down like every lie
You said it was love, but love don't spy
Was I just your alibi?
[Chorus]
Why couldn’t you believe in me?
I was solid, you were fantasy
Built a world on jealousy
You burned the bridge and blamed the heat
I stayed true, but you couldn't see
You were projecting all your regret on me
Now I’m stronger, finally free
From someone who couldn’t believe in me
[Verse 2]
You said you heard things in my voice
Like every laugh was a choice
To hide some stranger in my life
But your guilt was the real knife
Every time I walked through the door
You looked at me like I was war
But it was your secrets on the floor
Now I see it, I wanted more
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to heal you, but I bled
Lost myself inside your head
You said you loved me, but instead
You just fed the fear you bred
[Chorus]
Why couldn’t you believe in me?
I was solid, you were fantasy
Built a world on jealousy
You burned the bridge and blamed the heat
I stayed true, but you couldn't see
You were projecting all your regret on me
Now I’m stronger, finally free
From someone who couldn’t believe in me
[Bridge]
Now you're watching from afar
Wishing on my rising star
But you can't rewind the scars
You left trying to play the part
Of the victim in your own game
But baby, I’ve shed that pain
I’m not bitter, just awake
And I won’t bend, I won’t break
[Final Chorus]
Why couldn’t you believe in me?
I was love, you were insecurity
You built a cage, I found the key
Now I’m flying, finally me
I stayed true, now I see
You were the lie in every apology
Now I’m shining, finally free
From someone who couldn’t believe in me
[Outro]
Believe in me…
You should’ve just believed in me…
But now it’s too late to see
What you lost when you doubted me
