About

This song is a cry to Jesus. The artist struggles mentally, questioning if his lack of belief is preventing him from finding purpose. The song’s instrumental organisation is inspired by jazzy gospel music.

The sentiment of belief is also found on this album in “Nana,” where frontman Matty Healy exp...

If I Believe You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’ve got a God-shaped hole that’s infected
And I’m petrified of being alone now
It's pathetic, I know

[Pre-Chorus]
And I tossed and I turn in my bed
It's just like I lost my head (Lost my head)

[Chorus]
And if I believe You
Will that make it stop?
If I told You I need You
Is that what You want?
And I'm broken and bleeding
And begging for help
(There's no use singing a song)
And I'm asking You Jesus, show Yourself

[Verse 2]
I thought I’d met You once or twice
But that was just because the dabs were nice and opening up my mind
Showing me consciousness is primary in the universe
And I had a revelation
I'll be Your child if You insist
I mean if it was You that made my body
You probably shouldn't have made me atheist
But, oh, I’m a lesbian kiss
I'm an evangelist
And if you don't want to go to hell then Miss, you better start selling this

[Chorus]
And if I believe You
Will that make it stop?
If I told You I need You
Is that what You want?
And I'm broken and bleeding
And begging for help
(There's no use singing a song)
And I'm asking You Jesus, show Yourself

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost now then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost now then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
Then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost now then how can I find myself?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I'm lost now then how can I find myself?
Yeah, yeah

What have the artists said about the song?

“If I Believe You” is about envying the faithful. I envy the simplicity that religion brings to the most complex questions out there.
