Lyrics Bruce Dickinson

Bruce Dickinson

Faith

You knew I wouldn't go

That's why you threatened me

Would I stay?

Said I was sick, and I'd be alone

Said my mind was not my own

I didn't learn...

You crawled up on your knees

A victim's pretty-please

Would I stay? would I stay?

And I stayed...

(how many more times)

How many more times

Till I broke down from that guilty mess?

(how many more times)

You taught me to hate to love you

That's because you love to hate yourself

I wish it had a happy end

Like the fairy tales pretend there can be

But things are not the same

When your life love was a game of make-believe

You've got everything you want

But not everything you need

And it's true...

You receive what you achieve

(how many more times)

How many screaming fights, tears of rage

Until it ended?

(how many more times)

How many more times till I say who I am

And don't pretend?

(how many more times)

How many more times

Till I broke out of that guilty mess?

(how many more times)

How many more times till I say who I am

And don't pretend?
