Believe In Me

You set me up to fail
You wait for me to fall
Watching, praying that I will end like you
Saying that it will never be true
Telling me my goals are to high
Saying that I have set a path that won't let me by

I thought you were my supporter
The man to say anything is possible
Not the one to say that I will be nothing
That I won't attain the future I hold
Thanks a lot for believing in me
Guess you aren't what you are meant to be

I may stumble and break along the way
But don't sit here and doubt me everyday
Just because you didn't make it through
Does not mean I will end up like you
You are the example of what I don't want to be
So don't put me down or crush my dreams

I thought you were my supporter
The man to say anything is possible
Not the one to say that I will be nothing
That I won't attain the future I hold
Thanks a lot for believing in me
Guess you aren't what you are meant to be

You sit and wonder why we fight
Don't you see that you have no faith in me
How can I call you dad, why don't you see
I am afraid that you will criticize my ways
Show some belief just for me
Let me know that you believe

I thought you were my supporter
The man to say anything is possible
Not the one to say that I will be nothing
That I won't attain the future I hold
Thanks a lot for believing in me
Guess you aren't what you are meant to be

I only feel failure when you are near
And I try to dismiss all my tears
The man I looked up to is bringing me pain
Just knowing that you don't see all that I can be
But please daddy I beg you please
Only this once will you believe in me.
