Believe in me, when I doubt myself
The way just isn't clear
Without a friend to stand by me
I may give in to my fears

It seems that everything is fine
Then a day brings other news
That shakes the confidence I have
And leaves me feeling blue

I don't ask you for answers
These problems I must solve
How much it means to have you there
Just to listen, that is all

I know the sun will shine again
A coward I am not
It's just in these darkest moments
Somehow I've just forgot

A kind word from someone who cares
Helps me want to start anew
Believe in me when those times come
And I'll always believe in you
