Lyrics
Intro
I held my breath at the wishing well
Laughed at the stories they used to tell
No glass shoes, no genie in view
But then I turned… and I found you
⸻
Verse 1
They told me love was just pretend
A sweet illusion that always ends
That stars don’t fall, the clocks don’t freeze
No miracles like in movies
⸻
Pre-Chorus
But your eyes, they caught the light
Like they knew the script I’d write
⸻
Chorus
I don’t believe in magic, but I believe in you
You’re the spark that breaks me through
No fairy tale, no sleight of hand
But you’re the truth I understand
I don’t need spells or skies of blue
I don’t believe in magic—
But I believe in you
⸻
Verse 2
I’ve seen the world from every side
Chased every high, still felt denied
But you paint color on my grey
And change the ending every day
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Your touch, it breaks the curse
Like you knew what I was worth
⸻
Chorus
I don’t believe in magic, but I believe in you
You’re the storm and silence too
No fairy lights, no castle walls
But you’re the reason my fear falls
I don’t need dreams to pull me through
I don’t believe in magic—
But I believe in you
⸻
Bridge (strip back to solo piano + voice)
If magic is love with nothing to prove
Then maybe, baby—
It’s you
⸻
Final Chorus (full instrumentation swell)
I don’t believe in magic, but I believe in you
You’re the wish I never knew
Not a charm, not fantasy
Just the realest part of me
I don’t need fate to make this true
I don’t believe in magic—
But I believe in you…
