Faith, it's what I wanted
It's what I needed
And so easily you helped relieve my fear
That you don't want me
That you don't need me
Now I catch you sneaking out with her
The other woman, your little mistress
All those promises you said you'd never break
After all these miles and all these trials
All my footprints are filled with sand
And I start running faster but I can't get past her
She's taking you by the hand
Love, I thought we were in
I thought we meant it
When you told me that you'd always stay right here
I feel so lonely, I feel so empty
How could I let you make a fool of me?
The little martyr, the giving mother
Now you think you're someone you could never be
After all these miles and all these trials
All my footprints are filled with sand
And I start running faster but I can't get past her
She's taking you by the hand
And I fall behind you
I fall into blue
Tears that fill my hands
And you never called back
You never saw that I was sinking into the sand
After all these miles and all these trials
All my footprints are filled with sand
And I start running faster but I can't get past her
She's taking you by the hand
The other woman, your little mistress
All those promises you said you'd never break
My whole being and my whole vision
Now I catch you sneaking out with her
The other woman, your little mistress
All those promises you said you'd never break
My whole being and my whole vision
Now I catch you living my life with her
