[Verse 1]
Somewhere along the way
I got the idea
That I’m not good enough
That I don’t measure up
Somewhere along the lonely way
I got the idea
You’re too good to be true
I don’t deserve you
[Chorus]
Why do I believe
Why do I believe
Why do I believe
In only the bad parts
Of the story?
The bad parts of my story?
[Bridge]
What I want to say . . .
What I mean to say . . .
What I’m trying to say . . .
Oh, nevermind.
[Verse 2]
Somewhere along the way
I got the idea
That I’m so sick of myself
And so is everyone else
Somewhere along the lonely way
I got the idea
That you’d see through me
That you’d want to leave
[Chorus]
Why do I believe
Why do I believe
Why do I believe
In only the bad parts
Of the story?
The bad parts of my story?
[Outro]
What I want to say . . .
What I mean to say . . .
What I’m trying to say . . .
Is don’t go away.
