Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Catch me if I fall, I'm losing hold

I can't just carry on this way

And every time I turn away

I lose another blind game

The idea of perfection holds me

[Verse 2]

Suddenly, I see you change

Everything at once the same

But the mountain never moves

Rape me like a child, christened in blood

Painted like an unknown saint

There's nothing left but hope

[Verse 3]

Your voice is dead and old and always empty

Trust in me through closing years

Perfect moments wait

If only we could stay

[Verse 4]

Please say the right words

We cry like the stone white clown and stand

Lost forever in a happy crowd

No one lifts their hands, no one lifts their eyes

Justified with empty words

The party just gets better and better

[Chorus]

I went away alone

With nothing left but faith

I went away alone

With nothing left but faith

[Outro]

With nothing left but faith

With nothing left but faith

With nothing left but faith

With nothing left but faith

With nothing left but faith

With nothing left but faith

With nothing left but faith

With nothing left but faith

With nothing left but faith, with nothing left but faith

With nothing left but faith, with nothing left but faith

With nothing left but faith

With nothing left but faith

With nothing left but faith
