I Don't Believe You
by @roxya
Liner Notes
As I get older I'm feeling more and more out of touch with my peers not that I can relate to a younger crowd either. Sometimes I feel that as I get more comfortable in my own skin everything around me becomes more alien. It's such a strange emotion, self acceptance, trying to throw away all the pre-conceptions you once had about how your life was going to turn out. How do we embrace both change and sameness at the same time.
Lyrics
I don't believe you
Look at the sky it’s turned to grey and I’m stuck in the eye, Oh, I’d like to say That I’m still the same, but I know the truth Just as well as you and I can already hear you say
I don’t believe you, I can see it in your eyes I don’t believe you, You’re hiding in your lies I don’t believe you, Your smile is fake don’t try I don’t believe you, Why don’t you stop this time
Look at me now, edges all frayed and like mist in a cloud, bound to dissipate when the storms abate, Oh I know the truth Even more than you and I could echo your refrain
I don’t believe you, I can see it in your eyes I don’t believe you, You’re hiding in your lies I don’t believe you, Your smile is fake don’t try I don’t believe you, Why don’t you stop this time
Yeah I’m not the same can’t say I’m better than I used to be maybe I haven’t changed I find those questions they’re still lingering so I don’t understand am I still me just living differently? I never planned to still believe that I’m the younger me
I don’t believe you, I can see it in your eyes I don’t believe you, You’re hiding in your lies I don’t believe you, Your smile is fake don’t try I don’t believe you, Why don’t you stop this time I don’t believe you, I can see it in your eyes I don’t believe you, You’re hiding in your lies I don’t believe you, Your smile is fake don’t try I don’t believe you, Why don’t you stop this time

I Love this song! Your voice is so emotive! "I Don't Believe You" is such a strong hook and the way you repeat it throughout the song is wonderful! That technique of stating the hook and then giving a reason "I don’t believe you, I can see it in your eyes" is so powerful! Truly excellent work on this one! #tit4tat

Liking the verse being pretty picking and the chorus being strumming. The build into the bridge is good.
Song has a nice vibe!

This gorgeous! And heartbreaking. Your vocals are so full of feeling, and the dynamic of the guitar helps build out such structure. This phenomenon you describe is a hard thing to deal with. You capture the sorrow well, good work. #tit4tat
