[Intro/Segue]
[Verse 1]

And I'm climbin' over something
And I'm runnin' through these walls
[Chorus]
I don't even know if I believe
I don't even know if I believe
I don't even know if I believe
Everything you're tryin' to say to me
[Verse 2]
I had the strangest feeling
Your world's not all it seems
So tired of misconceiving

[Chorus]
I don't even know if I believe
I don't even know if I believe
I don't even know if I believe
Everything you're tryin' to say to me
[Post-Chorus]
So open up my eyes, tell me I'm alive
This is never gonna go our way
If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Say something, say something
Something like you love me

[Chorus]
Well, I don't even know if I believe
I don't even know if I believe
I don't even know if I wanna believe
Anything you're tryin' to say to me
[Post-Chorus]
So open up my eyes, tell me I'm alive
This is never gonna go our way
If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind
So open up my eyes, tell me I'm alive
This is never gonna go our way
If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind
