Faith

what does it take, to not judge someone
to love and leave and to do and be done
are you going to be the one-sided judge
or is that only my lonely path to trudge
that of the nameless unknown soldier
you're only ever guilty of the first murder

they like to say that a lie is a lie when lied
but what did honesty try to say as it died?
do unto me as you'd like done unto you
see into my heart as i lay it bare true
be gentle for all the bravery stops here
maybe i'm weak and i cringe with fear

but tell me all, for i really want to know
i am a bigger man and often i'll show
what you didn't know hurts the most
it lurks and it prowls like an attic ghost
surprising you at your most securest
jumps you and puts you to the test

no this is not how it is going to end
we'll bend, we'll break and we'll mend
everything matters, and everyone tries
let no one tell you anything otherwise
but just show a little faith in me honey
cos if that's not there it ain't even funny
