Small Sins - Why Don't You Believe Me? lyrics

rate me

If I had been better looking

If I made you a million

If I had held you at gunpoint

Could I still be forgiven?

Oh please

Why don’t you believe me?

With a standing ovation

Or an honourable mention

If I was better in high school

Would the medals that they gave to me

Help you to believe me?

Don’t you leave me here in the pouring rain

If I pretended to be different well I’d still feel the same

I’ll give you anything you think that you need

But surely I’ve earned credit

So why don’t you believe me?

If I gave better direction

If I was charming and useless

If I had made fabrications

If I had lied would you do less for me?

So why don’t you believe me?

Don’t you leave me here in the pouring rain

If I pretended to be different well I’d still feel the same

What’s the sense in prying if I say it’s the truth

You shouldn’t need a guarantee

You shouldn’t need proof.

I’ll give you anything you think that you need

But surely I’ve earned credit

So why don’t you believe me?
