Hi my name is faith
And I make you feel safe
'Till I walk over you, Betray,
Meet my friend trust
Replaced by
'Till you meet another pretty face,
They hung out at school
Home and work too
Planning the betrayal to you,
I tried to change my name
But I was still just the same
Playing the unchanged tune,
Tried to forget and leave
Make myself believe it's not true,
Now I live alone, ran away from home
But I'm still wearing the same shoes.
