I could write up in the sky

forgive me I apologize

still if I went through every measure

with my promise to be better

you’d say - “I’ll believe you when“ Matchbox Twenty

She stood there at the door. One foot in. One foot out. I knew what she was feeling. It was my fault that she was hurt and crying, but there was nothing I could do to fix it. I told her I was going to change. I told her  that things are getting better. I told her that she could’ve done something. All the excuses were in vain. She looked beyond me and was broken. There wasn’t anything I could say. She knew the history.

Whoa.. I’ll believe you when… when everything you say, don’t turn out wrong

Last night, I picked up Matchbox Twenty’s latest album, Exile On Mainstream, that included a DVD and it had this song called “I’ll believe you when”. I’ve always liked reading the Matchbox Twenty’s lyrics, but this song hit me. Erica and I fight. Many couples I know fight. Personalities make arguments anavoidable, but sometimes there are bigger issues. We have flaws in our chemistry that entices us to hurt the one closest to us. repeatedly.

The Wall

In the song, I’ll believe you when, Rob Thomas tries to tell the one that he’s hurt that he is sorry. In all of his efforts, she isn’t sold. She might want too, but she can’t believe him. She has let him in too much and he has hurt her. She loves him, but puts up a wall so she will be safe.

It Takes Time

It is not a question of love. When we hurt those who have let us in, they still love us. They just become afraid. Like Matchbox Twenty sang, there is nothing we can say to convince her to be open with us. We could aplogize a thousand times, but she needs to see someone she can trust again. It takes time: Time to be committed to the change that we promised to her.

whoa

I’ll believe you when

whoa

I’ll believe you when

whoa

when everything you say

don’t turn out wrong  - “I’ll believe you when” Matchbox Twenty from the album  Exile On Mainstream.
