Eric Benet - Still I Believe Lyrics

I once believed that the face of love would be so clear to see
One kiss conceives giving birth to endless joy
That's what I believed
But I've been slapped by my trance
From this bliss of ignorance
While the stench of disappointment I would breathe
I played the roles brilliantly
The villain, the victim, and in-between
Pushed the limits of my strength and sanity

[Chorus:]
Still I believe in love
Still I believe in love
Still I believe in love
Still I believe in love

Your eyes, your eyes given half a chance could slice my heart in two
I've tried at least a half a dozen times
Probably the same for you
I've been the angel, been the beast
I've been confused and had clarity
I went the distance only to find there was nothing there
Take your hearts, place your bets on this game of Russian roulette
If you lose they won't remember or even care

[Chorus]

Though I walk thru the valley I don't hear you
I'll never stop believing though I hear you
I know you're looking but you'll never find me
Whenever I smile you are grieving
Whenever loves around me you are leaving
Shut the hell up now and get behind me
Shut the hell up and get behind me

[Chorus: out]
