Lyrics
She packs her bags for the last time,
She waits by the door.
She’s had the rug pulled out from under her feet
So many times before.
Seven years of pretending.
Seventy turns of her cheek.
She tells herself every night
This may be hell but at least
I’m keepin’ the faith.
Keepin’ the faith.
She tried so hard to be faithful.
She took her vows to her heart.
She repeats after him,
The words tear her apart.
She’s good at keeping a secret,
Handy with an alibi.
She knows the truth but won’t believe it,
Finding comfort in the lie…
I’m keepin’ the faith,
I’m keepin’ the faith,
Keepin’ the faith.
She found the words upon her trembling lips.
She felt the beat of her heart.
Like the passing of a total eclipse
She felt the darkness depart.
Now she stands on the threshold.
With one more step she’ll be free.
The note she left on the counter
Was bitter and sweet:
I’m moving on to find the life you gave,
In every moment of each day.
I turn to you to find my strength.
Amazing grace… I’m keepin’ the faith.
I’m keepin’ the faith.
Amazing grace.
Just walk through that door.
I’m keepin’ the faith.
