Story Behind The Song
It was a difficult year when I wrote this... I felt sad and useless and wrote this to get it out of me.
Song Description
This song is written about feeling inadequate but truly believing in what you're pursuing. It's about trying to convince other people and realizing it may not be so important to waste energy trying to convince someone else. It's just better to do it for yourself in the end.

Lyrics
I can see your ass seating in your seat. I'm hoping for once you'll take me seriously. You can see that I've called so many times. Don't you think it would be nice to call me back once or twice?
Chorus:You've got to believe me when I tell you that I, don't really think it's about you or I. You've got to believe me that I've tried. Well you told me once, but I know you tried.
Verse: Someone is more important than me right now, I look into your eyes and I can see how. I never felt that important anyway, maybe it's just time for me to fade away.
Chorus:You've got to believe me when I tell you that I, don't really think it's about you or I. You've got to believe me that I've tried. Well you told me once, but I know you tried.
Bridge: Nothing makes sense anymore. Nothing can close the door. Nothing I breathe is true. There's nothing left for me and you. Why have I cried? Why did I let you see me inside? I know I can't give it up now so I've got to live it up now.
Chorus: You've got to believe me when I tell you that I, don't really think it's about you or I. You've got to believe me that I've tried. Well you told me once, but I know you tried.
