Faith
©Kelli Cates

When my heart cries, I write
I'm inspired when we fight
You don't know me, you can't see me
And so I write tonight
You attack me with fear
You are there, and I am here
I will not stray, but I won't stay
If you won't start to hear

I am constant, yet I am changing
And I have faith in those who let me
But I won't let you choose my words, see
There's no faith for you if you won't have faith in me.

You have unmasked your heart
I had hope from the start
But I will back away if you don't let me stay
I know, it's hard to be apart
I am crying like a child
You've mistaken me for something wild
I know you've been hurt, but I'm not her
And I can only take this for a while

I am constant, yet I am changing
And I have faith in those who let me
But I won't let you choose my words, see
There's no faith for you if you won't have faith in me.

I am knowing, and you are innocent
I know the truth of pain
I don't want you to not trust me
It's not how trust is gained.

I am constant, yet I am changing
And I have faith in those who let me
But I won't let you choose my words, see
There's no faith for you if you won't have faith in me.
