I Don’t Believe It - Rachael Sage

Calm is a feeling I learned to never want more
Calm is a toy I was taught to leave on the floor
Calm was a feeling you said would just break my heart
Calm was a feeling you said was bad for my art
And every time that you told me I'm not good enough
I can't believe I could ever have felt so rough
Every time that you tell me
I'm not good enough I don't believe it
Every time that you told me
I'm not gonna win
I can't believe I could ever have been sucked in
Every time that you tell me
I'm not gonna win I don't believe it anymore
Peace is a feeling I learned was pie in the sky
Peace is a feeling I learned to never ask why
Hope is a toy I was taught to leave on the ground
Hope is a dream I was taught to not make a sound
And every time that you told me I'm not good enough
I can't believe I could ever have felt so rough
Every time that you tell me
I'm not good enough I don't believe it
Every time that you told me
I'm not gonna win
I can't believe I could ever have been sucked in
Every time that you tell me
I'm not gonna win I don't believe it anymore
Gimme something beautiful to believe in
Gimme something elastic I can breathe in
And every time that you told me I'm not good enough
I can't believe I could ever have felt so rough
Every time that you tell me
I'm not good enough I don't believe it
Every time that you told me
I'm not gonna win
I can't believe I could ever have been sucked in
Every time that you tell me
I'm not gonna win I don't believe it anymore
I know you never meant to hurt me
I know you only wanted to give me
The tools you believed
I needed to learn to fly
I know you never meant to hurt me
I know you only wanted to give me
The tools you believed
I needed to be a butterfly
