Betrayed By Faith
every morning I would ride the bus to work and I'd
always talk to this old man who would sit beside me.
He'd tell me stories when he was young, his kids, money.
But one day he broke down and told me the story
when sadly he lost the mother of his children....
and was betrayed by faith.
Well, I was younger then, all these wrinkles werent relevant.
a fine young cadet then, not a retired washed out veteran.
back when music was music, not that shit you kids listen to.
My wife and wine were my great loves, so yes I'm only listing two.
well the wine came later and I'll tell you how that came around.
drinking away pain, trying to swim in sorrows I would drown.
shes had beautiful golden hair and emerald treasured eyes.
it'd be like floating in blue skys, how her love would mesmerize.
goose bumps run accross me just picturing her beauty.
but all that and more would cause any man insecurity.
curiosity to pry made me suspicious and act sorta jelause.
for being careless one day, is the reason I now care less.
I share this now so u wont make the same mistake that I did.
I'll forever search for her but in open space she keeps hiding.
I paid more attention to work, and no intention to make it work.
shed complain how I was never there, and to my kids I was a jerk.
I couldnt keep things stable trying to put food on the table.
cause my wifes affection was caught by another guy who was able.
that was faith, I would say, 10 years ago today, the eigth.
when she left me alone.......... and I was betrayed by Faith.......
Yes his wifes name was Faith that dirty bitch
