Faith Bruce Dickinson

[Verse 1]
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...

[Chorus 1]
How many more times till I broke down from that guilty mess?
You taught me to hate to love you
That's because you love to hate yourself

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
How many screaming fights, tears of rage, until it ended?
How many more times till I say who I am and don't pretend?

[Guitar Solo]
