FAITHFUL
(Rick Springfield) |
I know I hurt you
I broke your little heart
And I'd give anything
To undo the pain
You can always
Run for shelter
But you can't
Ever stop the rain
I felt so low and she looked good that night
I had a bad desire in my head
My soul was sending out an S.O.S.
Now you finally get the message it sent
I know just how it seems
Cause all your plans and dreams
And your precious faith have been shaken
And all the things you thought
That wedding vow had bought
Were just there
To be taken
I was lying in a bed that night
Weaving lies to cover my sin
There's so much about us that's still so right
Can we burn it down and start it again
I'll be your faithful one
Yeah I will not falter
I swear and cross my heart
Lay my soul at the alter
We talk til late at night
Always ends with a fight
And you say I gave away something sacred
I storm out one more time
You slam the door and cry
And we're both left
Scared and naked
I want you back
I want to heal that wound
But I'm not sure that's enough
And you're only sure that right now what you want
Are no more hard lessons in love
I'll be your faithful one
Yeah I will not falter
I swear and cross my heart
Lay my soul at the alter
Nobody could take your place in my life
But you know what I think
I can lead you to water
But I can't make you drink
There is no happy ever after baby
It's a lie we tell the children at night
You sleep with the enemy in love and war
But you never surrender the fight
I'll be your faithful one
Yeah I will not falter
I swear and cross my heart
Lay my soul at the alter
I'll be your faithful one
Lay my soul at the alter
