Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in shame?
And if love can conquer all
Then why do we only feel the pain?
I heard you speak my name
Heard you singing The Stones

And did you have to change
All your poet's fire into frozen dust?

To learn from your mistakes
It was a stupid lie that had to make its point
In such a pointless waste
So come out
Come out
Come out
Come out
Do you believe in shame?
Do you believe in love?
And if they taste the same
Would you love again or abandon both?
I don't think I ever can
Believe my friend is gone
Keep saying it's alright, I'm going to bring you back
But I know I'm wrong
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to do
It's just that lately I feel so damn lonely
When I think of you
And it may seem selfish now
But I'll hold on to the memory
Until all these fears are washed away
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in life?
'Cause I believe a little part of you inside of me
Will never die
'Cause I believe a little part of you inside of me
Will never die
So come out
Come out
Come out
Come out
