| I surrendered you |
| In all the shades of love and hell you put me through |
| And I remember you |
| In all the ways you would and wouldn’t want me to |
| But if I lay down and close my eyes |
| I’ve got a photographic memory of your brighter sides |
| So when I stand back |
| In the hallway |
| And I hang you in a gold frame |
| All the dark and shaded parts |
| And the innocence we lost |
| Oh my love you have to trust |
| There’s a sympathetic touch |
| When I hang you |
| In the hallway |
| And I’m looking at your likeness in a gold frame |
| I promise I’ll be trying to |
| Capture all the ways you |
| Made me feel |
| So when I’m painting |
| I’ll paint you faithfully |
| (Faithfully faithfully) |
| (Faithfully faithfully) |
| (Faithfully faithfully) |
| (Faithfully) |
| We were living in the fallout |
| In a war of words |
| Where no one is the good guy |
| It’s not about who fired first |
| We don’t clutter our heroes |
| With justifications |
| They never live in the morally gray bits |
| But I’m not a hero |
| An neither were you |
| There’s nothing that I wanna misconstrue |
| When I open |
| To a new page |
| And I’m dusting off the sweetness and heartache |
| All the dark and shaded parts |
| And the innocence we lost |
| Oh my love you have to trust |
| There’s a sympathetic touch |
| When you make it |
| To the last page |
| And the all the words running through you like a freight train |
| I promise I’ll be trying to |
| Capture all the ways you made me feel |
| When I’m writing |
| Oh I’ll write you faithfully |
| (Faithfully faithfully) |
| (Faithfully faithfully) |
| (Faithfully faithfully) |
| (Faithfully) |
| And in the middle of the heat |
| I said some things to you, I swore I’d not repeat |
| Lost the plot, and ripped the canvas right in two |
| Oh love, oh love |
| In the trail of the car crash |
| And all the things we couldn’t ever take back |
| Oh it left me black and blue |
| I don’t speak in absolutes |
| Since the time that I told you |
| I’d always love you faithfully |
| (Faithfully faithfully) |
| (Faithfully faithfully) |
| (Faithfully faithfully) |
| (Faithfully) |
