i believe in magic

Halsey

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
Well, Papa, don t you preach
I tried to teach him every day
that nothing good is free, but oh, it should be

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 b?fore I go
Well, I just wanted you to know

That I b?lieve 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 because I haven t been

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, I didn t last til twenty-eight
Became a single mom, just crushed under the weight
Of a child growing faster
than I think that I can take
I love him anyway
And I remind myself a time will come
when he sees me turn grey
And realizes too late, like I did with my mother
So now I tell her to her face

With all 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
Well, I just wanted you to know

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 because I haven t been

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
I love him so
