Title: “If You Believe”
[Verse 1]
You say I pushed you away
Like I didn’t feel the weight
Of every word you swallowed back
Every silence I couldn’t translate
I wasn’t trying to disappear
I was learning how to stay
When loving you felt like standing
In the middle of a breaking wave
You call it weakness when I bend
But you never saw me break
I was holding us together
While you were already walking away
[Pre-Chorus]
You ask me questions like you know the truth
Like strength is something I owed to you
[Chorus]
Do I believe in life after love?
I’m still breathing, so I guess I must
But don’t confuse my shaking hands
For giving up
You say I’m not strong enough to stand
But strength ain’t always letting go fast
If love was real to you
Why did you leave without looking back?
So tell me now—
Do you believe in love when it hurts this much?
[Verse 2]
You say you need time to move on
Like I didn’t need it too
Like I didn’t spend my nights
Learning how to live without you
You say you’re too good for me
Like love’s a game you won
But walking away first doesn’t mean
You were the stronger one
I stayed when it was heavy
I stayed when it was hard
You call that waiting
I call it having a heart
[Pre-Chorus]
You found your power in goodbye
I found mine in asking why
[Chorus]
Do I believe in life after love?
Some days yes, some nights I’m stuck
But healing doesn’t make a sound
It’s quiet, slow, and rough
You say I’m not strong enough to rise
But strength don’t always look like pride
If I still believe in us
Does that really mean I’ve lost the fight?
So answer me—
Do you believe in love once it’s bruised and cut?
[Bridge]
You say you don’t need me anymore
I never asked you to
I just needed you to stay long enough
To see this through
Maybe strength is walking away
Maybe it’s staying soft
But don’t rewrite our history
Like I didn’t give you all I’ve got
[Final Chorus]
I do believe in life after love
Even if it took me longer than us
I’ll rebuild slow, I’ll feel it all
I won’t pretend I’m bulletproof or tough
You said I wasn’t strong enough
But love isn’t a race you run
So here’s my question, honest and true—
If love was never weak…
Why did it scare you too?
[Outro]
(After love… after love…)
I’m still here
Still believing
Just not the way you do.
