You had the starring role
That I wished I could play
So I learned every line
That you were known to say
I stood in the shadows
When the spotlight hit your face
But I never dreamed you'd throw it all away

You led me to believe
And I followed everything you'd say and do
You led me to believe
You've changed your way of thinking now
But I know what is true
And I will keep on holding on
To all the things
You led me to believe

You were the guiding light
For all who passed your way
The neighborhood superman
Who always saved the day
You were the model
I was the clay
And I never dreamed you'd throw it all away

You led me to believe
And I followed everything you'd say and do
You led me to believe
You've changed your way of thinking now
But I know what is true
And I will keep on holding on
To all the things
You led me to believe

Now I miss you everyday
And it cuts me to the bone
But you have gone so far away
And I must stand alone
I kept the things you taught to me
And I found them to be true
I only wish that you believed them too

You led me to believe
And I followed everything you'd say and do
You led me to believe
You've changed your way of thinking now
But I know what is true
And I will keep on holding on
To all the things
You led me to believe
