Couldn't Keep The Faith

Our love was an obsession, so deep and profound

Now it's reduced to a shadow of a wraith

It once stood as a beacon of light and sound

But in one another

We couldn't keep the faith

We couldn't keep the faith

I wondered what made this rift so wide

Now, I've spent all of these nights on my own

Were our paths meant to divide?

Oh, but we couldn't keep the faith

No matter what

We couldn't keep the faith (the faith)

I woke up dreamin', I was lyin' by your side

But I forgot the tears that left these red eyes sore

Woke up dreamin', I asked you to be my bride

But I forgot that we're not in love no more

I wondered what made this rift so wide

Now, I've spent all these nights on my own

Were our paths always meant to divide?

But it's too late, the sun has brought up the dawn

The image I had of us declined

Never pictured us bein' alone

That's a feelin' we shouldn't have condoned

Oh, but we couldn't keep the faith

No matter what

We couldn't keep the faith

No matter how hard we tried

Or all the nights we prayed

Only to realize

We couldn't keep the faith (the faith)

There was a time when I had a place in your life

But some things are better lost and left behind

I remember all the jealousy, so widespread and rife

Would I turn the clock back and have it unwind? (Unwind)

I wondered what made this rift so wide

Now, I've spent all these nights on my own

Were our paths always meant to divide?

It's too late, the sun has brought up the dawn

Image I had of us declined

Never pictured us bein' alone

That's a feelin' we shouldn't have condoned

Oh, but we couldn't keep the faith (no we couldn't)

No matter what

Couldn't keep the faith (no we couldn't, no we couldn't)

No matter how hard we tried

Or all the nights we prayed
