Faith In Love
You've sucked me dry
You've drained my soul
I've had enough
Now you must go
I'll start again
Some way, some how
I won't be used
It's my turn now
I'll find someone
Who'll think I'm great
Who'll treat me right
Make no mistake
I don't need this
I don't need you
You broke my heart
But I'll get through
I'll love again
Oh yes, I will
I'll trust again
You didn't kill
My faith in love
Or my belief
In happiness
Despite my grief
It may take time
But that's OK
Because I know
There'll come a day
When I'll look back
With no regret
For ending this
With you, and yet
It's true, today
My heart's in pain
But this I know
Your loss; my gain
I'll come through this
Wiser, stronger
Not beaten down
Any longer
So in a way
I owe you thanks
For giving me
Another chance
To have a life
Like I dreamed of
Happy, married
And lost in love
