MakeMe Believe You

by iloveanimecartoons

Original March 11, 1998

Revision February 19. 2008

Oh boy—here I go again

This type of a test is not in my life's plan

Yet, another “Promise of Love” has been offered to me, by a man

Okay—you know what? I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt

I'm gonna listen to each word professed from your mouth

And, objectively, openly, and honestly respond

I'll let you reach into my heart and feel what's going on

I won't male bash, snicker, or let one bad thought enter my head

But, after I've listened to every word that you've said

My brother, you've got a Hell of a lot of proving to do

For me to go there, you must make me believe you

Um, you do realize what you're up against

A woman who sees love as a bad consequence

A woman who has made a living of living alone

Love's put a hole in my heart, and, for years, it has grown

So, you say you've come to me with a love that is true

And you can relate to my fears, cause you've been hurt before, too

That you can reteach me trust, security and love

Because truth and good intentions are what you're made of

I hear you—but before I could ever even think of loving you

You've got your work cut out for you—you must make me believe you

You see, I'm trying to feel ya, but your words are so passe

Life goes on, love's eternal—all that shit's so cliché

And, I must admit, love scares me enormously

For you, trust and truth is key to making a way of being with me

Do you have the patience to see this plan through?

Can you see yourself waiting till I can, honestly, say I love you?

Most men don't, so, what can you do to make me believe in you

Are you set to get this woman, in a constant pursuit?

Will you give up after a few tries?

Will you keep hope alive?

And, what if you do get me open, and give up on me

because at the time of your breakthrough, you broke, patiently?

Now, that's my biggest concern—you cradle my heart, then let it hit the floor

That's the kind of pain I can't afford—the kind I can't have anymore

And, why do you think I've spent all these years by on my own

Because, when I gave all of my heart, no return love was shown

I, usually, think very one-sided, when it comes down to men

But, I can think open-mindedly, every now and again

I'm not out to hurt feelings or cut friendships to a loss

But, I'll protect my own feelings at all times, and all costs

You've got one Hell of a challenge and I lay it before you

You said that you love me—now, make me believe you
