Analysis of I don't believe

Holly Pecker 1978 (Israel)



I think I should go..
There's no point to argue.
I already know all THE details about you..

I guess I should say something now..
But I can't..
I guess this is it.
I'm sure, you'll regret!..

I'm walking away..
Won't you stop me at all..?..
Won't you try to explain..?
Won't you give me a call..?

Do you care about me..?
Well, I think , you don't..
Will you keep in touch..?
I don't think so.. You won't..!

All I wanted was YOU..
But it didn't work out..
I'm thinking of all
You'll be sorry about.

I don't believe anymore in your lies..!
Listen, it's over! I can't compromise..!
Listen, it's OVER!..
I eager to leave..
I can't go on like this..
cos I don't believe.
