Sceptics and True Believers

by The Academy Is

Don't be so scared; we will not lead you on
like you've been doing for weeks.
You're selfish, and I'm sorry.
When I'm gone, you'll be going nowhere fast, nowhere fast, nowhere fast.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
'Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me.
Near death, last breath, and barely hanging on-
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Don't be so scared to take a second for reflection,
to take a leave of absence, to see what your made of.
So, I'm selfish and you're sorry.
When I'm gone, you'll be going nowhere fast.
So who's selfish and who's sorry?

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
'Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me,
Near death, last breath, and barely hanging on-
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Someone somewhere said somethings that may have sparked some sympathy,
but don't believe, don't believe a word you heard about me.

Don't be so scared, it's harder for me. Don't be so scared.
Don't be so scared, it's harder for me.
Don't be so scared, it's harder for me.
Don't be so scared, it's harder for me. Don't be so scared.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
'Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me,
Near death, last breath, and barely hanging on-
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Someone somewhere said somethings that may have sparked some sympathy,
but don't believe, don't believe a word you heard.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
'Cause I wouldn't believe you, wouldn't believe you now.
