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
Only to realize
We couldn't keep the faith (the faith)
