Halsey - I Believe in Magic Lyrics

Halsey - I Believe in Magic Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My son is almost three

He used to look just like his dad

But right now he looks just like me

And as far as I can see, the fruit I bear is sweet

But the apple's rolling real far from the tree

And falling down the hill so full of love and so carefree

I wonder if the world will treat him any better than it treated me

But pope, don't you preach

I tried to teach him every day that nothing good is free, but always should be

[Pre-Chorus]

And with my roots above and all my branches down below

Please tell my boy I love him so

Please tell the world I have to grow before I go

I just wanted you to know

[Chorus]

That I believe in magic, and I believe in sin

I still believe in Heaven, if they'll never let me in

I started to believe in love the day I met my little twin

I think I might start tryin', 'cause I haven't been

[Verse 2]

My Momma's getting old

Well, it's contagious, and you'll catch it like a cold

She won't admit it, but it's something that I know

'Cause every year that passes for me passes her a hundredfold

Back in the day, my dad and I would share a laugh at all of her mistakes

But that alliance didn't save me from her fate

No, it didn't, I'm still twenty-eight

Became a single mom, just crushed under a rake

Of a child growing faster than I think I can take

I love him anyway

And I remind myself a time will come when he sees me turn gray

And realize it's too late, like I did with my mother

So now I tell her to her face

[Pre-Chorus]

With my roots above and all my branches down below

Please tell my mom I love her so

Please tell the world I have to grow before I go

I just wanted you to know

[Chorus]

That I believe in magic, and I still believe in sin

I still believe in Heaven, if they'll never let me in

I started to believe in love the day I met my little twin

And I might start tryin', 'cause I haven't been

[Outro]

I haven't been, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-la-la

Da-da-da-da-la-la

Da-da-da-da-la-la
