Faithfully Remain

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 truth 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 has come 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
