I learned to say
goodbye too young
I learned to duck from words
Like bullets from a gun

How long can you pray
And still not see a change
I faithfully remain

Some things
You have to let be lost
Some battles, some battles
You have to leave unfought

Then the [bad word] just wastes away
In all we dare not say
And in all we can't explain
But I faithfully remain

Now I'm afraid
Once again
It [bad word] to this
When it all goes dark
Nothing stays the same
Now I'm only what I miss

And my memories
They turn to tears
They turn to fire, blood and pain
And I faithfully remain

I faithfully remain
And I faithfully remain
I faithfully remain
