Lauren Daigle's 'Don't Believe Them' is a reflective song about the challenge of living out one's faith authentically. It questions how people can love, forgive, listen, and stand firm if they don't truly believe the words they speak. The lyrics contrast outward appearances with inner reality, urging listeners to examine their own hearts. The song draws on biblical principles of forgiveness and integrity, echoing Jesus' teachings on loving others and practicing what you preach. It's a call to genuine faith that goes beyond words to action.

There are two sides to every story
The truth leaves where it don't belong
It's a tricky line that we're walkin'
When we got so many people talkin'
Nobody thinks that they're wrong
How you gonna love someone if you don't forgive them?
How you gonna hear what they say if you never listen?
How you gonna stand up when the world wants you kneelin'?
How you gonna live out the words you're preachin'
If you don't believe them?
Mmm-hmm-mmm
This flood isn't made up of water
But somehow we all drown anyway
We make the ugly look so pretty and the innocent so guilty
In all of these games that we play
How you gonna love someone if you don't forgive them?
How you gonna hear what they say if you never listen?
How you gonna stand up when the world wants you kneelin'?
How you gonna live out the words you're preachin'
If you don't believe them?
Ooh ooh-ooh, ooh
Oh, how you gonna live them...? Yeah
Ooh ooh-ooh, ooh
If you don't believe them?
Ooh ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh-ooh, ooh
How you gonna love someone if you don't forgive them?
How you gonna hear what they say if you never listen?
How you gonna stand up when the world wants you kneelin'?
How you gonna live out the words you're preachin'
If you don't believe them?
