Trust and Believe - Keyshia Cole

What was I searching for? In God I trusted to heal all the open sores Seeing an open door but dying inside Before I was even born Unlearning seeing the clock stop turning (My conscience breaks down) See and believe it's me now it's never over To see and believe it's me now it's never over Now I'm holding Tears of guilt from inside Still I try to love Wrong deceived and cursed out loud I've earned them all and I'm not proud (My conscience breaks down) here and now Give me a choice and stop all the noise See and believe it's me now it's never over To see and believe it's me now it's never over [Repeat] Now you just sit back and watch me You never helped me You never gave me a chance See and believe it's me now it's never over To see and believe it's me now it's never over [Repeat]
