processing grief of a relationship that could never work

lyrics

Suspend Belief
©1998 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

You said I'm nothing without you
That we couldn't find the truth
If we weren't standing side by side
With our arms wrapped round our youth

I said there's washing to be done
You said we won't come clean
That living leaves a stain
That my good deeds won't erase

CHORUS
I'll be your girl
I'll walk in your world
I'll dream your dreams
I'll build a roof
Over our heads
To make it real
I SUSPEND BELIEF
I SUSPEND BELIEF

You're a counter of stars
You made the constellations
We're all waiting to be born
In this alien nation

I see we're growing old
You insist we haven't changed
In your mind we're ten years old
And that's how we will remain

CHORUS

I've seen so many people in this world
Enough to make an educated decision
That you're going to be evil for me

You brag how easy it's all been
That the best things in life can't be forced
I forgive your arrogance
We both know how hard it is to stay on course

Someday you'll want a child
Something half you, half me
Can I stretch this net
To deceive all three

CHORUS
