Eric Benet - Still I Believe lyrics

rate me

I once believed that the face of love would be so clear to see

One kiss conceives giving birth to endless joy

That's what I believed

But I've been slapped by my trance

From this bliss of ignorance

While the stench of disappointment I would breathe

I played the roles brilliantly

The villain, the victim, and in-between

Pushed the limits of my strength and sanity

Still I believe in love

Still I believe in love

Still I believe in love

Still I believe in love

Your eyes, your eyes given half a chance could slice my heart in two

I've tried at least a half a dozen times

Probably the same for you

I've been the angel, been the beast

I've been confused and had clarity

I went the distance only to find there was nothing there

Take your hearts, place your bets on this game of Russian roulette

If you lose they won't remember or even care

Though I walk thru the valley I don't hear you

I'll never stop believing though I hear you

I know you're looking but you'll never find me

Whenever I smile you are grieving

Whenever loves around me you are leaving

Shut the hell up now and get behind me

Shut the hell up and get behind me
