The Believer Lyrics - The Believer - Rhett Miller

Activity killed you 

When are you gonna burn 

Half of the things that you knew 

In your body were wrong? 

I wanted to be friends with you 

Now I have come to find 

It was mistaken in passion. 

Nobody was wrong 

And I believe you 

They said down in London 

Had to be hard to keep hating yourself 

When these people are 

So well behaved 

You did time in Duncanville 

Part of you's living there still 

In a hole where the souls 

Of the lost kids are saved. 

And I believe you 

When you said happiness is all you wanted 

You said this is all you wanted 

How I miss 

You almost made it 

Happiness 

All of your good friends 

All of the people I'd meet 

Keep a list of the things 

In this world that we trust 

You are here and after 

Referred to as someone who 

Gave it a shot, gave it up 

Left a cruel world to us 

And I believe you 

When you said happiness is all you wanted 

You said this is all you wanted 

How I miss 

You almost made it 

Happiness 

You won't get nervous 

You won't come down 

You won't feel helpless 

You won't be around anymore 

You won't be around anymore [Repeat: x6] 

Anymore 

Anymore
