Why Dont You Believe Me?

If I had been better looking,
If I made you a million,
If I had held you at gunpoint,
Could I still be forgiven?
Oh please,
Why don't you believe me?
With a standing ovation,
Or an honourable mention,
If I was better in high school,
Would the medals that they gave to me,
Help you to believe me?
Don't you leave me here in the pouring rain,
If I pretended to be different, well I'd still feel the same,
I'll give you anything you think that you need,
But surely I've earned credit,
So why don't you believe me?
If I gave better direction,
If I was charming and useless,
If I had made fabrications,
If I had lied would you do less for me?
So why don't you believe me?
Don't you leave me here in the pouring rain,
If I pretended to be different, well I'd still feel the same,
What's the sense in prying if I say it's the truth,
You shouldn't need a guarantee,
You shouldn't need proof.
I'll give you anything you think that you need,
But surely I've earned credit,
So why don't you believe me?
